Default Installing the CHMSL Spoiler

I've looked in the FAQs section but cannot find the instructions on how to remove and install the third brake light spoiler. I did install the body colored license plate frame, door handles, and engine covers, as well as the cargo organizer (doesn't even require the clips that come with it). They were very straight forward... and they look great!

Can anyone direct me to installation instructions for the CHMSL?

Thanks,

Wayne

Take out the inner tail lights - you can then see and access the bolts holding the spoiler in place.

go to the brite ideas web site (http://www.vettepitstop.com/faq.php)they have html instructions. You need a torex bit for the lights and a 10mm ratchet wrench head. Unsrew the lights with the torex then pull them out reach in and unsrew the 4 10mm bolts ( 2 on each side) unclip the electric connector then pull up. Installation is the reverse.

Thanks for the tip. It was right on the money. Changing it was a piece-a-cake.
I now have body colored door handles, CHMSL, and engine covers, and it looks great!
