Just yesterday, we featured spy photos of the upcoming C8 Corvette E-Ray, showing off what’s believed to be a prototype of the first-ever Chevrolet Corvette hybrid model. In those pictures, we spotted something else interesting as well – a 2020 Chevrolet Corvette C8 with the High Wing spoiler option.
As we can see here, the car in question is a new Corvette C8 draped in Elkhart Lake Blue Metallic paint. The rear end is adorned with the High Wing spoiler, the largest of the three spoiler options offered. This is the first time we’ve seen the C8’s High Wing spoiler in the wild.
The High Wing spoiler is the third option for rear spoilers on the 2020 Chevrolet Corvette, the other two being the smaller Z51 spoiler, and no spoiler at all (wingless).
The High Wing spoiler is offered across the lineup for all trim levels of the C8. Buyers can get it in either a Carbon Flash finish (RPO code 5ZZ), or a body-color finish (RPO code 5ZU). However, the body-color finish is limited to four specific exterior paint colors:
- Arctic White (G8G)
- Black (GBA)
- Shadow Gray Metallic (GJI)
- Torch Red (GKZ)

Back in October, we asked readers which 2020 Corvette C8 spoiler was best, and the majority voted for a wingless body style with 34 percent of the vote. The Z51 wing took second and third place (body color and Carbon Flash, respectively), followed by the High Wing Spoiler in fourth and fifth place (Carbon flash and body color, respectively).
What are your thoughts on seeing the High Wing spoiler on a 2020 Corvette C8 out in the wild? Does it add extra visual appeal to the new Vette’s rear end, or would you prefer a different spoiler altogether? Maybe no spoiler at all?

I’m dragging up the rear. My silver car, color coordinated trim, black wheels with red/black interior has the carbon painted black high wing. Surely not for everyone but fits my eye and finishes the back of the car. still time to change mind though.
The C8 configurator on the GM website is a great way to see all option available.
I am not going to lie, I have a minor Gripe of the C8.
I am a little disappointed it doesn’t come with an active Aero Rear Wing.
Other than that, the C8 is amazing!!!
Just love it!
Well yes I love it as we all do, but it just needs that little bit of extras for almost 100k,
This car u can not have a girl friend into it, u can but all’s she can do is just look at u driving, , no room what so ever to get in your lap,
From a price tag of 60k I don’t think anyone will buy one. Every single man women and child will have to get the 5k z51 package ,it will not do 0- to 60 in under 3 sec, without it, so it’s a must buy,
To get all the features of the card potential u need the option 2 package, u want to use it like nothing els, u have to get the mag ride suspension sys to, to also have the rod feel like u own it, forget the stage 3 seats and the lift suspension when on bumps for now, as it will set us back about 8k give it take, but with the option 2 pack and the mag ride and the z51 on this car, it’s another world experience, so it’s a must for the guy who wants it all,
If u op for the upgraded wheels and everything it has to offer, it’s about 110k give it take , that’s checking everything on the order sheet, u don’t need it all, to much is not to good to have,
The rear wing, should of been flush and push a button to bring her up and control the level when we want it, not a bolt it hi wing ? That is just crazy, the other issue I have is the side air dam. Should of been a little bit larger to merge into the body lines more better to bring it out slightly more, and rear ended bumper should of been more open up, meaning , we needed to see the rear inner parts from the back more instead of closed bumper, and a little bit on the wheel gaps to be slightly down more, I don’t wanna put my hand in between the fender wells, just a little bit of a gap for me,
Over all, the car is sold out as they say, I am buying one myself, the convertible in red,
Seems like General Motors has ever single vette on order to be made by every guy and gal as they want it, not what gm wants, but what the costumer what’s it to be, that’s actually old school way, we now actually get what we pay and want, not what gm puts out and we have no choice to buy it on the lot,
In any matter I have to have it, option 2 pack and z51 Conv. With mag ride and data recorder
Also good Picts to this website
I think buyer age will drive the choices…older buyers low or no wing…younger will shift the ratio to more high wings but in a majority.
I’m an older buyer…low wing for me…hurry and put the C8 on Family First Plan PLEASE
I am an “older” buyer at 61 ad I am ordering the high wing spoiler on the convertible, also in Elkhart blue. Age is irrelevant, it’s all about the aesthetics. I formerly had a 71 for 22 years in steel cities grey – a love it or hate it color, but it turned heads.
I’d make my C8 a Z51, but I think the Z51 wing is functional but kind of ugly. So my choice is the high wing in Carbon Flash even though my tastes tend to be conservative. To me, it completes the look of the car, and I’m confident that Alex made it functional.
I ordered my C- 8 in arctic white with the matching high wing spoiler. Wish I could have got it in natural Carbon Fiber like all the other accessorizes I ordered, but the White looks cool. My Dealer informed me yesterday my car is being built the week of March 3rd, Waaa Hoooo can’t wait.
it looks like a tori gate. that back end is still a hot mess and adding crap on top doesn’t help.
The shot from behind the car in the real world on the street looks good with the high wing.
I like the high wing spoiler. Not overdone and fits the styling of the car.
