What's the deal with my spoiler?

[VegasJen]

OK, I've looked (briefly) through the forum to see if I can figure this out, but no luck. I bought my '12 1.4T/6M about two years ago. I really like the coupe version better, but that's just a personal preference. Anyway, as far as I know, the car is bone stock except for the tires. But mine has a raised spoiler on the back. I've looked at other Sonics and never seen the same one. Is this a factory spoiler? Did the PO install an aftermarket spoiler? I'm just really curious.

Anyway, here's a pic from when I bought it. Not the best view but you can kind of see the spoiler in question in it.

Hi VegasJen,

Sure looks like an aftermarket spoiler of some sort. Are your windows tinted as well? You bought it used. Previous owner may have done a few mods here and there. Just my guess. Does it have a brake light reflector built in?
Actually looks pretty good in the pic. That's my take.
More pics pleaseopcorn:

Interesting. I'd love to see more pics of the spoiler. Hard to tell who made it.

I'll try to get a pic from the rear tomorrow and post. To me, it looks factory. If it's not, it's very well done. The fit is perfect. So far as I can tell, there are no other mods to the car.
My theory to this point is that it is a factory option exclusive to the LTZ/6-speed coupes. But that's just a theory.

I'd recommend using cubeupload.com as photobucket sucks these days.

That's definitely an aftermarket spoiler. The Z-Spec spoiler is (as far as I'm aware) the only spoiler that was offered for the sedans, and it's not that shape at all.

I haven't spent a lot of time on the car in the last month. Had my mom visit for a few weeks. But she went home last week and I had to do a little routine maintenance on it today so I took the opportunity to get a couple more pics. Evidence is this is actually a GM spoiler, and kind of rare so far as Sonics go. I still haven't seen another Sonic with this spoiler.

That is 3dCarbon brand

I've seen them on the hatchback versions but never in person.

Looks Good

Definitely improves the looks of your Sedan(not a coupe....sorry). But the Steelers sticker kind of kills the whole look!

I really like the look, definitely more aggressive than the little lip spoilers I've seen on the rest of the sedans. So does that mean it's not actually a GM product? Or is it at least GM authorized accessory? Not that it matters. I'm just really curious and it doesn't seem like there's a particularly big aftermarket for these cars like there is for, say, the Camaro or Mustang.

I agree... a Packers sticker would look much better!

I like that spoiler a lot. It gave me memories of my old Galant VR4
