Definitely going to purchase a carbon fiber wing but what’s the benefit instead of another company. It appears that I can already expect a very long wait. Paying a better price doesn’t really do it for me.

Thank you C7 carbon

I ordered the ZL1 1LE carbon wing with short pylon.
Said 5 to 10 weeks for delivery, got it in 6.
Unfortunately, It was damaged during the shipping.
They nicely rebuilt another one for free (under warranty).
It was ready in 5 weeks (I had to put the shipping on hold due to my Christmas trip away from home...)
Receive it 2 days ago, perfect wing, perfect match with the trunk...
Easy to put on the car (youtube video if you need advice).









need to wash the car and take better pictures under the sun....

Thank you again C7 carbon for this awesome wing!

Looks good......
I'm on the fence about getting an aftermarket wing.
Biscuit, How does the carbon look (blemishes)?
How close are the specs to OEM?

I’d say;
Looks awesome !!!
Nice carbon look, polished
Same look as the carbon insert hood
Wing in one block, short pylons with hidden screws
I’ve seen real 1LE twice, looks the same,
Can’t say for sure about the angle,
But because I choose short pylons, I know it won’t Have the same aero and wind effect...
Will take more picture Sunday with the sun, you’ll see more about the aspect.
I recommend

Looking to get the carbon fiber version, can someone confirm the following?

- Website says minimum 12 weeks maybe; is this a reality or is it more likely to get it sooner?

- The carbon fiber option fits on the OEM holes with the stock spoiler or I need to drill new holes?

1/ got mine in 6 weeks
2/ match the OEM trunk and holes perfectly
(Only for coupe, doesn’t work for vert ...)

Thanks for the information. I feel good about making this purchase, now it’s narrowed between C7 and one other company that’s a little higher in cost but the product looks good. I want to ensure it’s as close to oem as possible. Otherwise I’ll just buy the gm wing. I’m not into wasting money though. I’m kinda frugal....

you can see the great looking...
(after I put the pylons on it before going on the trunk).
Aspect is exactly like the carbon hood insert:
polished effect super nice!
with the std 6.25'' pylons sure it's exactly the same than the OEM
(except it has no X decals on the side)

Feel the same way, what other company are you looking at?

Biscuit thanks for the extra pics.
Looking forward to seeing pics from a little distance to take in the lower risers.

I believe it was Anderson Composites that I was also viewing. Let me know what you decide. I’m gonna order “something” next week.

Thanks again for sharing these awesome pics, we really appreciate it!

Our ZL1 1LE style Rear Wing is a very close match to the factory wing, but with some slight differences.
For example, our spoilers are the only ones that are designed with slightly larger bases to evenly spread out the down force strain.

Let us know how we can help.
Thanks again!

Weapon x had stated they had one going into production sometime this month so I was trying to wait for theirs as another option. Haven't heard any updates to see how thing are moving along with it though.
I will say looking at the previous pics C7's looks nicely done and don't think I would be disappointed if I choose to go that route.
Only thing I really noticed it looks like the angle is a little different. If you look at the winglet they look parallel with the car where oem seem to be angled downward somewhat. Could be just me?
Biscuit's wing has the smaller base so I don't know when using the larger base if that changes anything.
Mine will be more for aesthetics over function so I don't need it to have the exact oem specs.
