Thank you for updating us with a pic of the Blade Spoiler, specially on a White Summit Camaro! I really like the look from the back of the car. Sucks i had to cancel my order of the dam Blade when most of us found out not a direct fit or close to it for a SS. I do believe too in person and with some exterior additions, the Blade Spoiler would and does look bad ass.

Maybe if someone wanted it a little more aggressive someone like ZL1 addons can make a tinted wicker-bill like the 5th gen one or the current Z06 Corvette:




I think that would look pretty good.

That was my plan from the get go, but the height of the blade is going to make it tougher. Going to the dealer Thursday and taking measurements off a ZO6 and a blade and seeing how well it will mount

Your car looks freaking GREAT!!! I think color contrast is why your blade looks tall enough. The solid colors will blend in more and obviously not stand out as much.

IMO the blade spoiler is the only way to go. Personally, and I know I'm going to catch flack over this but it is just my opinion, the regular spoiler on the SS makes it look too ricer to me.

Thank you, I had the SS wing on for 3 weeks, and the wing was the only thing that didn't flow right on the 6th gen.. After getting the blade spoiler installed instantly changed the look of the car , it complimented the front splitter perfect, both together balance the car perfect, added one more picture, but it doesn't do it much justice, needs to be seen in person to really appreciate..

Awesome! Fixes the car and looks clean. The only Camaros that wore a wing well were built from 91-02.

3. You still get to keep the gold badges (its an LPO, so you get the original hardware) so youre buying the gold one AND ALSO the black one

theyre not just taking your money
As someone who does the installation of LPO parts you are incorrect about what you are paying for. When a LPO part is ordered that is part of the build sheet but is a dealer installed item as such the buyer does NOT keep the original parts that came on the vehicle, in this instance the gold Chevy emblems. At the dealer we in fact have to remove the gold emblems and install the black emblems.

Looks good! For some reason though I think I am the only person who like the spoiler that comes on the SS.

That is not correct.
My black emblems were ordered with the car and I got the gold ones in my trunk. I paid for them. It was not a choice of which color I wanted. I paid and get both. Same with the wheels and Brakes,etc.
ALL LPO items are returned to the purchaser. If the dealer keeps them that is theft.

All LPO parts are not returned to the purchaser as most of the large accessories have a core that GM requires the dealerships to send back to them, such as wheels and performance add ons. This is not considered theft because those are NOT items that the buyer paid for. The items the buyer paid for are what are on the build sheets and maroney and are dealer installed not installed by the factory.

Well, we can now see the problem regarding LPO parts: some dealers as evidenced by the above do not even know what should be done.

Chevy Customer Service should take note and recommend dealer staff and tech be trained regarding LPO parts.

The blade spoiler does look good but I have no issues with the standard SS spoiler, I think it looks good.

That contradicts information given to us during the research/shopping phase from a dozen dealerships. For example we were looking to option the car with the split spoke black wheels ($2k option) and were told by every dealership that both sets of wheels go to the customer as they paid for both.
