Even though the traditional long-hoodline and cab-back proportions are now a thing of the past, the all-new 2020 Corvette C8 is still a fantastic-looking automobile, with a sharp, balanced aesthetic that screams supercar from every single angle. Indeed, now that the engine is mounted in the middle of the machine, the C8 places more visual emphasis on the tail section, and unsurprisingly, buyers have a number of options to choose from regarding rear spoiler design.
Looking over the 2020 Corvette online configurator, we find four available spoilers on offer, including the Z51 Performance Package rear spoiler, which can be had in either a body-color finish or Carbon Flash Metallic, or the High Wing Spoiler, which is also available in either a body-color finish or Carbon Flash Metallic.
Here’s a table breakdown of all four, including availability:
| RPO Code | Spoiler | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| T0A | Z51 rear spoiler – body color | Included and only available with Z51 Performance Package. |
| T0A | Z51 rear spoiler – Carbon Flash Metallic | Included and only available with Z51 Performance Package. |
| 5ZZ | High Wing Spoiler in Carbon Flash Metallic | Genuine Corvette Accessory (LPO), Not available with (R8C) Corvette Museum Delivery. |
| 5ZU | High Wing Spoiler in body color | Genuine Corvette Accessory (LPO), Requires exterior color (G8G) Arctic White, (GBA) Black, (GJI) Shadow Gray Metallic or (GKZ) Torch Red. Not available with (R8C) Corvette Museum Delivery. |
So then, the question remains: which of these four is the best?
Let’s start with everyone’s favorite upgrade—the Z51 Performance Package. With enhancements like stickier Michelin Pilot Sport 4S performance summer tires, bigger brakes, a performance exhaust, an electronic limited-slip differential, extra engine cooling and access to the FE4 Magnetic Ride Control suspension, the Z51 Performance Package is the clear choice for anyone looking to extract every tenth from their 2020 Corvette. What’s more, the package includes a rear spoiler that provides more than 400 pounds of downforce.

It looks good in the body-color finish, no doubt about it, but it looks equally nice with the Carbon Flash finish, which adds even more contrast, especially against Arctic White paint, as seen here.

As if the standard spoiler were too subtle, the 2020 Corvette is also offered with the High Wing Spoiler option, which makes its presence known with a towering GT-style wing that rises high above the rear engine cover thanks to a quartet of black pillars.

Grab the High Wing Spoiler with the body-color finish, and the color of the wing element matches the body panels. Alternatively, the High Wing Spoiler is also offered in Carbon Flash, which gives the wing element a darker finish.

There’s one more option to consider here—wingless. For those that want something a little cleaner, this is the clear winner of the bunch.

If performance is what’s desired and the wing generates measurable down force at “speed”, I’d leave that one up to the engineers who put the z51 package together. Admittedly, the fixed wing looks 80s esque, but then its a sub 80k mid engine 495 hp, 11 second quarter mile, sports car. Still, its near caviar on a beer budget.
Still waiting on production date.
Worried about a spoiler that doesn’t make a bit of difference to most, but looks…
It’s not a race car, it’s for you gold chain guys…
More $$$ than driving ability, bunch of Sunday drivers, I’m not talking race day either…
Where is the results of the poll for the high wing rear spoiler on the c-8 vette
I would like to have seen the small spoiler on the 2021 corvette 2LT package as an added package incentive. I currently have one on my 2016 2LT and it looks sharp.
does anyone know if GM took into account the affect on MPG (increase or loss) when adding the Z51 spoiler (15 city/27 hwy) under normal driving conditions?

I wish I could have seen the difference between a cope and a convertible as there is a difference between the two profiles
