Default Touring Wings for the Z

I know some people may roll their eyes at this, but I HATE my current little lip on the trunk that the Z comes with stock. It holds a ton of water everytime i wash it and pisses all over the car for 2 days after I wash it no matter what I do.

I want to get a new spoiler/wing for my car, but don't want to get something gaudy. I have seen some really nice touring wings on very rare occasions that I feel would look very nice on my car - but I dont know makes, or prices for these things.

Can someone help me out?

Oh I will attach a photo of my car for reference.

^hey man,

Your Z is looking very nice. I have the same trunk spoiler and it does not hold water at al.. was this a factory upgrade or was this lid put on after you purchased the z?

Anyhow, the one I saw that looked similar to stock was a blitz piece. I dont have pics but I am sure you can search for it.

Good luck!

for lack of a better term - a "picnic table" but not super high and ugly

something that looks like this:

I almost like the look of that ebay wing, but that double-sided tape is NOT the way to go. Needs shorter supports as well.

Agreed, I dont want to catch satellite signals with the damn thing...

What would you need to do to secure it? I figure, some sort of rubber compound and some locking screws or something?

I may just remove this one that i have, put a silicone bead around the edge and put it back on - **** i hate the water!!!

Both options listed by Noodle are good.

The APR low drag spoiler is also nice. Rick from Status Auto has it on his redline. Not overdone at all.
