Wicker bill
I guess no one knows when the wicker bill will be available ? I may just go on and make them. There will have to be holes drilled into the spoiler to mount it

Anyone have or know where a pic of the spoiler installed is? Thanks.

ETA in the GM system is 5/24
That may or may not hold true. -Greg

5/24 is great. May not make them if that quick.

I am going out on a limb and saying the wicker bill is fugly, and it honestly doesn't look like it adds a ton of downforce.
Plus you have to drill the current spoiler. Pass for me. |

Oh I agree. No one would really need that wicker bill. It's just cool to have. I did not like the drilling either.

Given the great care and attention to detail taken by the design and engineering team on the Z/28 -- regarding even the tiniest details that might improve performance -- I'm not sure why people doubt that the wickerbill is effective.
Pretty? No. But it does add to downforce (though I can't remember the exact numbers). Regarding adhesive, it has two settings -- one for a little more downforce, one for maximum downforce. Which also proves the team spent some time designing this piece. I would prefer it were more perfectly integrated with the main spoiler, but I'm glad someone saw an opportunity to improve the car and took action. On-track pretty doesn't much matter...

I think it looks wicked (wicked-bill? lol!), have no doubt it's functional and can't wait to get it installed
