C3 Chevrolet Corvette Wing

Upgrading the rear of your classic Corvette with a spoiler adds aerodynamic function and an aggressive edge. Spoilers for the 1979 Corvette serve both practical and styling purposes. They offer enthusiasts an additional way to personalize their vehicle.

From classic fiberglass wings to performance-inspired rear spoilers, the proper setup can enhance your driving experience and reflect the spirit of the C3 era.

Popular Styles for the 1979 C3 Corvette Rear Spoiler and Wings

The 1979 Corvette came during a peak of design innovation, making it a popular model for custom exterior components. A rear spoiler provides downforce, contributing to more stable handling at higher speeds. While visual appeal is a factor, this component is valuable in improving the driving feel.

Rear spoilers for the 1979 Corvette come in several forms. Some are subtle extensions of the rear deck, while others adopt bolder, raised profiles. One of the most sought-after options is the Lamborghini Countach-style wing, which brings a unique profile to the C3 body lines. American Custom Industries offers a version of this iconic design that fits a range of model years, including the 1979.

Another popular choice is the LT-style fiberglass spoiler. This style integrates seamlessly with the rear contour of the Corvette, staying true to factory-inspired aesthetics while adding a custom twist. Check out this 1974–1979 LT-style rear wing option.

The ACI SE Radical Rear Wing is a standout for owners looking to go even more aggressive. With its dramatic shape and race-style look, it completely transforms the rear profile of your C3. This option is compatible with 1980–1982 models, though earlier compatibility may vary with modification.

Fitment and Installation Considerations

Installing a rear spoiler or wing may involve some drilling or body preparation, especially on earlier C3 models where spoilers were not factory standard. Many fiberglass units come unpainted so that owners can color-match the component for a seamless look. Check model-specific compatibility before purchase for best results, especially when modifying across production years.

Spoilers not only modify airflow but also shift the rear aesthetic. Choosing the right shape and height can enhance the visual impact of your Corvette without overstepping the car’s design heritage. Some enthusiasts opt for a bold statement piece, while others prefer low-profile styling that merges well with the vehicle’s original lines.
