Default How to install?

I have my first pre-painted SLP spoiler on order for my C5Z now. Just wanted an idea of what to expect to install it and how you guys did it. I think they are a great looking spoiler.

Final (for now) question. How long did it take, on average, to receive your finished product from the seller? I ordered it through the forum from RPI Designs.

Thanks,

Ken

From experience, I would suggest have a couple of additional hands on deck to help place it in the proper position. This way it will not move while taking the backing off of the tape. Some suggest pre-fittting it and marking it with blue painters tape. We simply lined it up where we thought it fit best and one person pulled the backing off one side at a time to get a secure fit. Then we did he opposite side, then the bottom. No issues at all. One final thing, if you can allow it to sit in the sun for a few hours it helps with the flexiablity.

As to receiving it from a Forum vender, they are pretty quick on turn around.

Good luck and post pics when installed.

Thanks. I am having a mild ghost flaming done to part of the hood and awaiting the spoiler. I'm like a little kid waiting for Christmas..

I appreciate the warming advise and I will do so also I wouldn't even think of doing the spoiler without at least one more pair of hands.

Again, thank you.

I do like the look of the rear spoilers but the beauty of the stock C-5 rear is what really does it for me.

I think the SLP is one of the quietest spoilers I know of. It kinda "quietly makes noise" if ya get my drift.
