Ladies and gentlemen, today Mark gathers a group of us to help him with this Z51 wing install on his 2022 C8 Corvette. As we attempt to do this DYI install, Mark almost gives up a few times. NEW MERCH LINK: daggercustomapparel.com/brink_of_speed_gear/shop/product-detail/1003775
Thanks. When Mark Reuss drove it out on the stage in August 2019 for the reveal, that’s the only way I was familiar with it since it was the first time I saw it. Without it it looks fine as well! It’s just what I preferred.
I thought about doing the same thing with a 3 man crew to install my high wing and 5VM Style Ground effects.. Instead I took it to Corvette World and had them install it all..
sorry guys but i would have waited to see the new spoiler or even the base Z06 spoiler if it fits. just not a huge fan of that one but if you like it, that’s all that counts.
Mark: That spoiler looks like it was made on the car. Unlike the high wing which I don’t have any issue with…it’s just not my personal preference, it is just perfect! It blends into the lines of the car better and matches the flow, looking like it’s a part of the aero designed by Zora. And…love the HTC. Still dreaming for mine, but happy to see another’s dreams come true.
I have a Z-51 package. I do not like spoiler. I wish I could do a Vulcan mind trasfer, or sumething , to swap out with someone who wants one. The spoiler, IMO, makes the rear look too angular.
Quite a job but this video was both educational and entertaining. Glad my rear spolier came with my Z51 package. Now Mark should be ready to install 1VM rockers !
I really like all the touches you are doing to your C8. The wing looks great! Nice teamwork to save you a couple hundred install dollars. I admire how you take car of that beautiful torch red C8.congrats once again.
Wouldn’t it have been faster and easier to just glue it on? I would not have the nuggets to drill into my car like that. Gutsiest move I ever saw, Mav (I mean Mark)! Nice job heckling and commentating Mike. 😂. In all seriousness, great job and it looks awesome! Fantastic video and content, Mike!
Lol, that’s what Mark initially said we should do, lol. We had a great team, which made things much more relaxing and smooth. Thank you Doug, I’m happy you enjoyed it. 😊👍
OMG i have anxiety from watching them drill into the C8😳..i want to do side skirts on mine but the thought of drilling into the side of the car is freaking me out lol
Great job Neighbor Mark and Team! The Z51 Spoiler compliments the car. Mike, thanks for the video record of this installation. How many hours in total? I'm guessing 3-4?
Well, one thing is for sure, Mark is really making a "mark" in the C8 world!🤣 He's the man when it comes to C8 add-ons! He's got a great artistic eye. AND, look what's he's doing to improve neighbor and neighborhood relationships!😉 Love the gas line leak skit! Epic! I have to ask, what was the dosage of the Valium that Mark was taking to keep him as focused as he was? Then again, maybe it was exactly "focus," but maybe more like a bit "loose, and just saying to himself, "Hey, who cares? What's a few holes in my brand new C8?" 😁 When all is said and done, the wing install was a very ambitious project. How long from start to finish did the install take? Love the Semi-Grand Finale if you will toward the end of the video with the slo-mow the in motion Drone footage which you might even call it On a Wing and a Prayer!😉 Your choice of music and syncing it to video is excellent!👍👍 Three Cheers to all you Texas Boys. Ride 'em Cowboys! Save the Waves👋👋👋👋👋 P.S. Would like to know a little bit about the C6 ZR1 if and when time permits. That's it. The Man of Few Words is out!

Its certainly great to have so many helpful friends. Nice job guys.
Mark, I installed mine after watching the video. Top bolt on the bumper-fender passenger side was the worst. It looks great.
Great vid mike. Car looks great Mark.
Thanks Roger
Love the low profile wing better
Very nice job fellas!
Great job, I liked the circus music , was very appropriate .
Good job, The car looks much better with the Z 51 wing.
Agreed, and thank you 😊

where did you get template
Did you get rely on getting a template? If so, where.
when I got my 22 c8 I ordered a non Z51 and also the high wing the car came from the factory with the holes already predrilled
Mark your car looks awesome dude, congrats.
Awesome looks great!
👍😊
I can follow instructions well but I don't know how to turn wrenches at all. Wondering if I should attempt this myself or give it to a body shop
I thought about doing the same thing with a 3 man crew to install my high wing and 5VM Style Ground effects.. Instead I took it to Corvette World and had them install it all..
Nice upgrade.
Congrats Mark Great Job. I'll never do that
👍😂
I had mine put on at a very good body shop and they had 4 guys holding the rear piece so they couldn’t drop it
Yeah, it’s not easy, that is for sure. 👍
Nice teamwork, really sets the car off and gives it that sporty look.
Thanks, it sure does. It was fun making this video.
Thanks Darren - come on over for the next project!
sorry guys but i would have waited to see the new spoiler or even the base Z06 spoiler if it fits. just not a huge fan of that one but if you like it, that’s all that counts.
What’s the measurements from each hole? And where did you get the sticker showing where to drill your holes?
Job well done. Watching from Seguin Tx
Thank you, it was fun. 👍😊
Nice job Mark, I did the same thing in August so I know how you felt!
👍😊

@5:30 min. Marks D.I.R.T.F.T.T.'s (do it right the first time tips). For the 👸 QUEEN!
Smart. That’s what I’m going to do. I didn’t want the Z51 package only because the Brembo brakes. Thank you for sharing
Looks Great Mark and Group! Congrats 👏
👍😊
At the beginning of the video the red C8 w the yellow calipers. Is that color called yellow edge when ordering? Can you please ask him? Ty Mike
I've seen install kits include double sided tape, but I didn't see you use it?
That looks good.
👍😊
No risk no reward lol but yea not my car either and was hard to stomach lol
Lol, I hear ya.
I have a Z-51 package. I do not like spoiler. I wish I could do a Vulcan mind trasfer, or sumething , to swap out with someone who wants one. The spoiler, IMO, makes the rear look too angular.

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. 👍😊
That is scary 😱😱
👍😊
Where did you guys buy the tamplate to mark the wing?
I really like all the touches you are doing to your C8. The wing looks great! Nice teamwork to save you a couple hundred install dollars. I admire how you take car of that beautiful torch red C8.congrats once again.
👍😊
Thanks Scott
Where did you purchase the z51 wing? Bought one off extremeonline but did not like the quality
Great video! Funny as heck. I was thinking of putting a spoiler on mine but I think y’all talked me out of it!
Lol, glad you enjoyed it. BTW, it wasn’t as bad as it seemed. 👍😊
What kind of lift does Mark have?
Gutsy move! I would not have the courage to do that myself.
👍😊
Thanks Marc - it took a lot of encouragement from these folks in the video to keep me on track!
Wouldn’t it have been faster and easier to just glue it on? I would not have the nuggets to drill into my car like that. Gutsiest move I ever saw, Mav (I mean Mark)! Nice job heckling and commentating Mike. 😂. In all seriousness, great job and it looks awesome! Fantastic video and content, Mike!

If you paid that much for the car why not allow someone that knows what they are doing do it!!! Like a professional Hmmm sounds crazy doesn't it
@@roderickepps5773 I think Because it was a lot of fun and a challenge to do it myself!
Also, there are two studs that are permanently molded in to the wing - definitely needs to be drilled.
OMG i have anxiety from watching them drill into the C8😳..i want to do side skirts on mine but the thought of drilling into the side of the car is freaking me out lol
Remember, you can do it..!!!
Why didn't he get the wing when the car was built?
Not available…..can only get the wing on the Z51.
How much of a savings did mark get putting a z51 wing on a non z51 c8?
Z51= about $6000 dollars. Z51 wing purchased for $400. You can do the math - but had many other reasons for not wanting the Z51 package.
@@neighbormark thanks mark
Looks great. You guys made it! Might want to have your own shop eventually? You got a lift, space and great people there.
👍😊
🤞🤞🤞🤞 Good Luck
Thank you 😊
That was crazy! Only in Texas lol! Nice work!!! No way I would drill into my C8. Nice video Mike. It let
me know “Don’t try this at home”🏎
Sure enough, it’s never fun drilling into your car. Thank you 😊
Does the 3rd break light work?
Yes!!
Looks great Mark! How many miles do you have on it now?
👍😊
Looks awesome nice job it's so much more rewarding when you do it yourself I installed mine myself and it was a great feeling of accomplishment
I like "OL Fart Channel .". 👍🏾 Great Job Guys !
Great job Neighbor Mark and Team! The Z51 Spoiler compliments the car. Mike, thanks for the video record of this installation. How many hours in total? I'm guessing 3-4?
Heck yeah! You’re welcome, and yes, it took us around 4 hours.
Well, one thing is for sure, Mark is really making a "mark" in the C8 world!🤣 He's the man when it comes to C8 add-ons! He's got a great artistic eye. AND, look what's he's doing to improve neighbor and neighborhood relationships!😉 Love the gas line leak skit! Epic!

When all is said and done, the wing install was a very ambitious project. How long from start to finish did the install take?
Love the Semi-Grand Finale if you will toward the end of the video with the slo-mow the in motion Drone footage which you might even call it On a Wing and a Prayer!😉 Your choice of music and syncing it to video is excellent!👍👍
Three Cheers to all you Texas Boys. Ride 'em Cowboys! Save the Waves👋👋👋👋👋
P.S. Would like to know a little bit about the C6 ZR1 if and when time permits. That's it. The Man of Few Words is out!
Mark, how's you're car coming along?
It took the whole 4-5 man team Chevy 300 bucks install one hour lol jk I’ll find out
Why would he not just take it to Corvette Worlds service dept and get it done professionally?
Because we aren’t afraid of a challenge.
@@BrinkofSpeed None the less tell Mark that it looks great! Guess I’m just not up to that type of a challenge .
These guys are clearly confused. But...gotta give them credit! They did find a way to put a toadstool on a dog turd!
No interest in a wing, not driving 100 mph on the city streets.
He needs a personalized plate. GQN. lol for garage queen like you said Mike
