I also sort of wondered this. It's probably not the worst place, but I wouldn't think laying your nice freshly painted spoiler on your car is the best place to do it either.
Looks great Chris!! A rear spoiler really makes the ass end look a lot better on C5’s. I own a Torch Red one, I just installed a Spoiler Kings rear spoiler, the V1 model, and it really makes it look a lot more aggressive!!!! Love it!!!
The spoiler install is the perfect addition to the C5. I think I would have also applied the adhesion promoter to the mounting surface on the bumper as well. Watching you clean the rear bumper as well as the taillight lips that gather sooooo much dust, I saw that you have after-market LED's, but there is a kit, at least for the factory lights, that allow you to flush mount thereby doing away with that lip. Maybe this is something you should look into. No such kit, or light conversion exists for the C6's though. :-( Save the Wave.
Looks Great , just ordered one for my 2000 C5 Convertible. Bought it at Corvette Guys $329 with free shipping. This SLP Spoilers are getting very hard to buy . 👍
mark here from soapbox detailing.....great video and loved the wing at the show! Good to meet you and the family. Cool video for those C5 folks. Talk soon.
Looks great Chris, but I gotta ask ya if you put any fine scratches on your rear deck, doing all the work, applying the tape, with that spoiler moving around? I think rear spoilers really improve the looks of most cars. That or a low wing looks great on a vette. Thanks for sharing that with us.
rear spoiler and wider quarter panels i installed on my c5 it makes a big difference wait until you pull up to a stock c5 no mods plain stock you'll go man what a difference
No, for several reasons. But most of all, the OEM carpets had like 1/8” thick rubber backing on them. The new carpet does not. So whatever insulation value that provided about equals the new Vette Nutz kit. So it’s about the same result.
Looks great, so you can buy that already color matched to your car? What company is that from, I'd like to look into buying one myself. Thanks in advance.
Looks great Chris, have a question for you regarding the oil catch can. Are you still capturing a lot of oil? And is this common amongst cammed up LS-1’s? Thanks, Bob
Car looks great Chris! Have you thought of doing a "then & now" to show the progress from when you purchased the car until now? Would be neat to see the pictures side by side. Thanks for all of the great content - please keep it up!
Looks good Cris. I have been subscribed to you when I bought my 03 MSG, and have looked at copied some of the mods that you have done, such as the ACA style lights, Halo taillights and I also did my third brake light. This is off topic, but while watching the video, I saw that the lower bumper was black. Is this a diffuser, wrap or paint. I have been wanting that look, but Im not sure I want to spend the money on the diffuser yet. Thanks in advance and keep up the awesome videos.
Looks great, i really thinks this is the only wing/spoiler thats looks nice on the C5. Perfect on a streetcar. Seen a lot of big strange wings for C5 that i dont think fit the design at all. An APR racewing can look nice too but i belive i it get too much after some time having it. I mounted a ZR1 wing on my C6, thinks that looks perfect, not too mutch or too little. Keep up the good work🏎
I like the spoiler a lot especially with the new body kit. I guess I'm of the point of view of dropping the car back down. All in all, you C5 is looking good. Thanks for the video.
Well let me be the first to say Chris that you couldn't go wrong with white on white. It would look sinister if it was black to match the facia and wheels. But that might attract the ricers to challenge you more often. Bless their little hearts.
Love the mods. But uh...ya gotta get smoked out taillights! Love the LEDs, but this is a white Vette with black wheels (my dream). I love the smoked out taillight look.
I like the concept and front/back views are nice but from the side it doesn’t look as nice - gives the appearance of a cheap add on. Also it uses tape?? That wears off over time so hitting the highway at 70mph that thing will be a missile in someone’s windshield sooner or later
Looks good but not for my Black C5 Coupe. I like the stock look without any bolt-ons or should I say tape-ons. The C5 and C6 are the last of Chevrolet’s clean looking body’s. I won’t mess with them. I don’t even like the rear brake vent look on a C5. No bolt-ons or stick-ons for my C5. Maybe because I am old school. Been driving Corvettes and owning at least one for the last 50 years. Still own 4 today a C2,C3,C5 and C6 all Coupes.
hi bud.... I was wondering why you did not show how to actually place the rear wing on the vette, which is pretty important.. you video was not really completely helpfull....lol
Looks good, although I cringed when you used your freshly painted car as a workbench.
I knew that would trigger a few people.
gunnmetalblue ME TOO!
Same... Lol
Same here...
No, not the wing,
NO, NOT THE BOX CUTTER!!! 🤣
1st thought as well. A blanket first might have been better.
Looks great Chris.Now I got to do my c5.I am 76 years old and just got my Vett 4 months ago.Love my Vett, just got to make it faster.
Nice Project!
THE SPOILER LOOKS REAL NICE ON THE VETTE. YOU HAVE DONE A LOT OF GREAT THINGS FOR THE VETTE SINCE YOU BOUGHT IT.. TAKE CARE
Thanks
Looks great I have the same spoiler I have to re attach it both side on the edge has detached
I like the subtle mods Chris - not too overboard - I just question why you choose to use the back of your Vette as a workbench 😆
I also sort of wondered this. It's probably not the worst place, but I wouldn't think laying your nice freshly painted spoiler on your car is the best place to do it either.
I was thinking the same thing😁
Looks great Chris!! A rear spoiler really makes the ass end look a lot better on C5’s. I own a Torch Red one, I just installed a Spoiler Kings rear spoiler, the V1 model, and it really makes it look a lot more aggressive!!!! Love it!!!
That lighting is much better in this video to see the paint job on your new fenders. That is one good looking c-5!
Thanks
Like it. Where can we purchase this spoiler ?
love it All your mods are spot on esp the rear fender flares and spoiler!
Thanks
Car looks good, Chris
Love it! Haven't been able to watch much but I'll be catching up today! Great job!
Looks great very cool.
Thanks
The spoiler install is the perfect addition to the C5. I think I would have also applied the adhesion promoter to the mounting surface on the bumper as well.

The car had the flush mount kit when I bought the car. I didn’t like the look, so I removed it.
Looks Great , just ordered one for my 2000 C5 Convertible. Bought it at Corvette Guys $329 with free shipping. This SLP Spoilers are getting very hard to buy . 👍
mark here from soapbox detailing.....great video and loved the wing at the show! Good to meet you and the family. Cool video for those C5 folks. Talk soon.
how big is the lip you put the 3m tape on?
Did you paint that rear exposed hardware black?
what did you use to clean the car with?
Chris it looks fantastic!!!
Great addition to the ghost vette..
Thanks
Do you recall where you purchased this SLP spoiler and possibly what the item number was? Thanks, looks great.
They stopped selling it.
@@mycorvettelife Of course...I wonder why? and what a decent substitute would be?
Is that rear spoiler holding up well? I mean, is it staying in place, any issues since installation?
Nice upgrade. Looks great.
Thanks
Would love a update to see if the spoiler helps with the dirt collection that the c5 taillights seem to collect…
No, the dirt is still collecting 🤣.
My Corvette Life bummer…
Looks great Chris!
Thanks

Looks great. Not to big. But large enough to be noticed. Great fit. Great look.👍🏾💯
rear spoiler and wider quarter panels i installed on my c5 it makes a big difference wait until you pull up to a stock c5 no mods plain stock you'll go man what a difference
Yep
I like it I was cringing when you were rocking it on the back of your car
Your ride looks great and congratz on 9k subscribers Chris!
Thank you!
Next time I'm in an elevator I'll think of your spoiler 😂😂😂😆😆😆
Have a link for spoiler?
Nice I did the same thing with my ZR1 Style spoiler when I installed it
Nice
Another informative video. Chris- Were you able to do a comparison of interior noise levels before and after the sound deadening install? Thanks!
No, for several reasons. But most of all, the OEM carpets had like 1/8” thick rubber backing on them. The new carpet does not. So whatever insulation value that provided about equals the new Vette Nutz kit. So it’s about the same result.
Looks great!
Thanks
Nice I like it, you did a great job
Thanks
Looks great, so you can buy that already color matched to your car? What company is that from, I'd like to look into buying one myself. Thanks in advance.
SLP has discontinued this since this video.
I like the things u r doinging to ur car Chris.
Thank you
Corvette/workbench. This is a new one for me.
It makes a good work bench.
C5 is looking good Chris, keep the mods coming..
Thanks
Car looks awesome
Thanks
I like it. How much did it cost?
You should now install the rear brakes vents from the z06, with this new look that will look awesome.
Nice job!
Maybe...
I cannot find this part SLP 100101 anywhere online ....not jegs, summit or any Corvette sites? Any suggestions?
From what I can tell it’s gone. You can check EBay. I bought mine over a year ago.
Where did you find this spoiler? The SLP wing is hard to find.
Apparently they don’t make it anymore.
where did u purchase your SLP spoiler. i want to get one
They are discontinued now.
Looks good👍 Definitely on my list. Thanks
Thanks
Looks great Chris, have a question for you regarding the oil catch can. Are you still capturing a lot of oil? And is this common amongst cammed up LS-1’s? Thanks, Bob
Yes it is common. I just posted a video update a couple weeks ago.
Is it just the camera or does the new paint not match the original paint?
It matches.
Car looks great Chris! Have you thought of doing a "then & now" to show the progress from when you purchased the car until now? Would be neat to see the pictures side by side. Thanks for all of the great content - please keep it up!
Yep I should.
Looks good to me!
Thanks
Nice touch Chris, just enough buddy....
Thanks
How do you like the wing? Any issues with it?
No issues.
Hi Chris did you get this from RPIdesigns?
My understanding is that they have stopped making them. It was from SLP.
Where did you get alp spoiler from
From SLP, unfortunately they don’t make it anymore.
Do you have a link to this spoiler on the Jegs site? I cant seem to find it?
It appears it is no longer available.

Where did you get this spoiler? I haven’t been able to find it.
Jegs. Also RPI Designs sells them pre-painted.
@@mycorvettelife chris was a model # or a certain name of the spoiler. Ty
That really complements the widebody!
Thanks
Any day now I should be receiving my c7 carbon racing wing in carbon fiber. Hope it fits as well as this one. Looks great.
Nice!
Can you add the C5 SLP Rear Wing supplied/manufacturer information to your mods listing? Thank you
Will do, thanks.
Were did you buy your wing from
They don’t sell it any more.
Where did you order the wing from?
Jegs, but it appears they do not have it any more.
Where did you get the wing?
They don’t make it anymore.
How much? We're did you order it from

It is painted.
Thank you. I love the look. I have to look into finding a trusted shop in my area. Keep up the great videos and thanks for the reply
what was in the spray bottle ?
Just a quick detail.
Hey did you notice added down force from this addition? Beautiful car you’ve created, and hello from Ky.
I haven’t driven it fast enough to notice downforce.
Looks great, i really thinks this is the only wing/spoiler thats looks nice on the C5. Perfect on a streetcar. Seen a lot of big strange wings for C5 that i dont think fit the design at all. An APR racewing can look nice too but i belive i it get too much after some time having it. I mounted a ZR1 wing on my C6, thinks that looks perfect, not too mutch or too little.

are these still available?
No
We like the wing chris got one on my 01
I like the spoiler a lot especially with the new body kit. I guess I'm of the point of view of dropping the car back down. All in all, you C5 is looking good. Thanks for the video.
Thanks
looks great :)

Lol
The spoiler really setS off the rear of your Corvette!
Amazing wing chris, is it easy instal or should i leave it to experts? I’m worry that uneven tape installation would be a permanent problem
Just takes patience.
ive been looking for that wing where did you get it ?
Jegs
@@mycorvettelife whats the model #
New spoiler is 👍🏽
That spoiler fits the C5’s subtle aero
Thanks
We're you buying?
They have been discontinued night after I posted this.
The Prescott car show or on Sat. the St. Gregory car show in Tucson...decisions...lol
ESE TENGO YO EN MI CORVETTE PERO ME GUSTARÍA EL DE FIBRA DE CARBONO YA VENDRÁN TIEMPOS MEJORES
It looks good, but I think it makes the C5 look a bit similar to the C6. I think I saw a Supra.
Love the mods. But uh...ya gotta get smoked out taillights! Love the LEDs, but this is a white Vette with black wheels (my dream). I love the smoked out taillight look.
I hate smoked lights.
My Corvette Life We have our different tastes lol
I had to stop both surfaces are scratched now..laying it on the emblem hurt my soul
It looks good but I agree with gunmetalblue. Use a sheet or something man!
Sweet spoiler...cant find a match anywhere
SLP discontinued it.
Less is more! Looks bang on..
Thanks
A heat gun or hair dryer helps the tape adhere better!
👍
I like the concept and front/back views are nice but from the side it doesn’t look as nice - gives the appearance of a cheap add on. Also it uses tape?? That wears off over time so hitting the highway at 70mph that thing will be a missile in someone’s windshield sooner or later
OEM uses the same tape as well.
I'm not a big fan of spoilers or wings on the rear of C5s.
Looks good but not for my Black C5 Coupe. I like the stock look without any bolt-ons or should I say tape-ons. The C5 and C6 are the last of Chevrolet’s clean looking body’s. I won’t mess with them. I don’t even like the rear brake vent look on a C5. No bolt-ons or stick-ons for my C5. Maybe because I am old school. Been driving Corvettes and owning at least one for the last 50 years. Still own 4 today a C2,C3,C5 and C6 all Coupes.
Subtle accent, tasteful, looks good! 👍
Your car is not a workbench, though, yikes.
Actually it’s his car so it’s whatever he wants it to be
should have gone black,since it didnt match white exact
It matches. The quarter panels, rear bumper, and the wing were all painted at the same time in the same booth. They match. Trust me.
I Don't know why but I don't like wing in any c5 its same take out view from it
hi bud.... I was wondering why you did not show how to actually place the rear wing on the vette, which is pretty important.. you video was not really completely helpfull....lol
New supra is mehhhhh
17 fake vents!
Nice spoiler! Doesn't match the white, I probably would have done black to match the wheels and the wrap.
