WELL, this was supposed to have shipped Friday. I sent them a PM two nights ago to get a status update since I hadn't heard anything since I ordered it. They said they would check it out and get back to me, still haven't heard anything. Apparently they're really busy with SEMA. I was hoping to get it in this week so I could install it this weekend. I have a track day Nov. 1 and there is a chicane going into the back straight that I have to briefly lift on otherwise the back end will come out. Really wanting to see if the wickerbill helps at all with this. If it actually does provide a decent amount of down force (fully extended) then it should.

He is, as I have been communicating with him. I'm able to wait unlike you. Please post your opinion on it once installed and you are able to test.

Looks great bud.

ALRIGHT, the time is here. DJGrilles Wickerbill came in yesterday. First impression, the fitment and finish is FANTASTIC! A nice matte black powder coat and I was surprised at how light the wickerbill is. One thing I did notice, is that it isn't adjustable like the OEM Z/28 wickerbill. You get one sitting on it, I have a track day this Saturday and two of our members are bringing their Z/28's so I will compare the height difference.

Install was super easy. The drill bit is about 0.546" in diameter, which is fairly big especially when you're drilling into a ZL1 spoiler. I used about 4 smaller drill bits and then a step drill to open the holes up properly. The install tool they gave (a bolt with two nuts) for the rivnuts worked perfectly and I had zero issues. Entire install took about 30 minutes.

Here are some pictures and I'll try to remember to get some more on the track Saturday.

P.S. I had to add a little something on the back of the wickerbill so people have something to read as I pass them. I realize it isn't straight, this is just for sh!ts and giggles for now.

oh the shame in being passed by a student driver :p Wickerbill looks really good too, and i noticed the missing height adjustments in their initial post and website as well.

Why does it look like the right side is lower than the left?

Camera angle and it's about 1/8" off. Enough to give it that look when off center.

Best license plate ever and great idea with the lettering!

Here's a picture of my wicker bill spoiler. I just for my car back today from my buddies Autobody shop. I'll get better pictures of it this weekend though.

crc91 · 10-30-2014, 03:28 AM

Any of you ZL1 guys feel a difference with the wickerbill?

ToolFan66 · 10-30-2014, 05:32 AM

Not a fan, someone needs to come up with a spoiler with this molded into it..

ZL1-V · 10-30-2014, 04:33 PM

Looks good to me. I want to install one onto a carbon fiber spoiler. To my eyes if you integrate it as one spoiler then it looks like another aftermarket spoiler that sits higher than a stock spoiler. No contrast in the spoiler.

Sorry guys that I've been off here...going through some life changing events at the moment. keep on modding!!
