Default Spoiler decision

I whittled it down to getting the ZR1 style spoiler, as opposed to all the other styles out there right now. That leaves me with the APSIS no drill, CDC or the factory ZR1 spoiler. They are all very similar, but yet each has its own merit and faults.

I hope to order something tomorrow.

If you want from the factory, go with the ZR1 spoiler. They all look great, so pick the one you want.

Just my $.02, for the best fit I would recommend the GM ZR1 Spoiler.

You can buy it from Gene Culley and have it painted locally (the best option with "difficult" colors), you can send it out to be painted by AtomicAutoStore, or you can buy a painted GM spoiler from RPI.

These are all great Forum Vendors.

Good choice by the way, the ZR1 spoiler is my personal favorite.

I found a 10% off coupon and just bought one from RPI.

Now I really need to sell my AR15 to pay for this.

Just keep in mind that one day you will have to change your chmsl bulb (brake light). Think about how you will do this if your spoiler is taped down versus screwed down.

I know people cringe when you tell them to drill a couple of holes in their bumpers, but this is by far the best fit and finish. It makes the install cleaner, and who cares about the holes if the install is permanent anyway

My Ron Fellows spoiler came with blueprints that you tape to the bumper with painters tape, then you mark exactly where you drill. No margin for error.

Even the screwed down racing spoiler uses some double sided tape and I'd assume the ZR1 does also. Very easy to cut thru with some string if you need to remove it.
