Hey everyone, I've been in the market for a ZL1/1LE Wing for 6 months now,
and have done my fair share of research regarding the topic of buying this product from the aftermarket.
I'll summarize that research here, with the hopes that it can help some of you find the right product!
This is all of the major manufacturers who are currently producing ZL1/1LE Wings,
their prices, a direct link, and some notes:
$
800,
C7 Carbon:

- Their wing is identical to OEM specifications except for the stancions, which are their own design.
The stancions are similar to OEM, but the interior angles are less exaggerated.
This is fine for my applications since I plan to replace the stancions with shorter ones anyways.
I went with C7 Carbon, due to their strong reputation, reasonable price,
and responsiveness to my calls and emails with questions.

850,
Carbon Dynamics:
https://www.carbondynamics.net/produ...o-zl1-1le-wing
- Their wing is a manufactured all-in-one piece,
where the winglets and stancions are are fabricated as one piece and permanently attached to the airfoil.
This is less than ideal for my applications, since I'd like to lower the wing with new stancions.

500,
JW Motoring:

- They do not yet have a carbon fiber version of the wing, otherwise the wing fits OEM specifications.
You must attach the winglets yourself after shipment.

ThatGMPartsGuy:

- This is the OEM wing so it can be used as the benchmark for design, build quality, and price.

Anything below this point is not recommended due to price, quality, customer service, or some combination of those factors.

ACS Composites:
https://acscomposite.com/products/zl1-1le-ss-rear-wing
- Their price is likely due to the fact that they were the first manufacturer to offer the wing.
It's now more expensive than OEM, so I can't see this as a viable option unless the build quality is out of this world,
which I haven't looked into.

6LE Designs:
http://6ledesigns.com/product/2016-c...-carbon-fiber/
- I first placed my order with 6LE on November 5th.
I have since gotten a refund after 5 months of waiting, 3 promised delivery dates that came and went,
and a dozen or so apparent production delays.
A user has posted their delivered wing on Camaro6 forums, and the product is not as described,
with a build quality that is not up to par.

Let me know if I missed anyone worth mentioning, and I'll look into them!
