not sure but I thought someone else on here did it by removing the taillights as opposed to the rear bumper.

On the C6, after drilling the holes with a template, you were able to reach the holes by removing the tail lights without having to remove the entire rear fascia. Not sure with the C7 until mine arrives.

There are 2 more torx screws that you have to remove that I couldn't physically take a pic of. I will try to circle it in another pic

I had the spoiler installed at my dealership - I had the spoiler in my hand and I looked at it before the install. There are 9 bolts molded into the spoiler. No template or nuts were in the box. I had it painted Torch Red - came out perfect. Yes the bumper must be removed. The mechanic removed the bumper, used a homemade template and drilled the holes in the bumper. They did a perfect job.
