Just installed my spoiler, great service. Packaging was excellent and the spoiler was very well protected. Purchased from vendor Champion Motors here http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-p...g-spoiler.html

I figured I give you a little insight into installing this since I was wondering this myself prior to doing it. (sorry, I didn't get all the pics I wanted because I was wigging out during the drilling lol)

Here is a how it came unboxed (after mixing cocktail)





You need to remove all 4 taillights to get to the 4 screws holding the original, and get to the 6 that will be fastening it.







There is a template that you need to cut out to tape to the bumper for drilling the holes





This is where things got scary, you need to drill the 4 holes into your bumper and notch out the existing opening to fit the plug for the brake light. I used a dremel tool with a cutoff wheel to get it off, you don't need to go all the way up, I put a piece of electrical tape and went stayed a 1/4" away from the top surface. You reuse 2 standoff screws and nuts for the middle 2 holes from original spoiler and the existing brake light.

Test fitting





I had to make the holes on the right a little bigger for a better fit











It was a pain to get to the outer bolts to fasten the spoiler but I think I got them all. Also, it's hard to see but I can't tell if its an exact match, the pictures look like it is but to the eye it almost seems its a little darker, really hard to tell and the average person probably would not be able to tell.

Excellent vendor and highly recommend them

Thanks again Rob

Edit, just in case pics dont show???? http://picasaweb.google.com/lamora1/Z06Spoiler# or http://cid-d4ede5363feff096.skydrive.../Z06%20Spoiler

 

Only can see one picture, but from that little bit it looks good.

 

pics don't work

 

strange, I can see them on mine, I posted the link to where I have them http://picasaweb.google.com/lamora1/Z06Spoiler#

 

From the one little pic, color looks good.

 

Link to all the pix works, but only one shows on your post -- the rest are the red "X" of pic death............pretty car and good looking spoiler....congrats!

 

Only one.

 

Mike, good job of documenting. I'm awaiting an LED light bar and will then install next weekend. Pics all came through and since mine is also Atomic Orange, help my old eyes to wrap my brain around it.

Rob, the spoiler color match is excellent; great job!

Nice job and it looks great!

 

Thanks, hopefully you can see them now, I reupped to a different spot

I think it took me about an hour and a half to do it all

 

Yup, now you can see them all....Looks great. Nice job!

 

Having done this on my wife's car a couple of weeks ago, this is a very good tip for future installers. I found that the template moved the outside holes a little too far "outside" which necessitated bending the spoiler to get the screws to reach. In turn that made the fit lousy. After lengthening the holes (parallel to the length of the spoiler) I could adjust the fit and make it really nice. (I "slotted" all 4 holes.)

U did a great job on the install but I think ur right.....from the pics the spoiler does look a bit darker than ur car! Love atomic orange but a hard color to match!!

 

Mine is a bit darker to the discerning eye, but looks good.

Looks nice. I installed one on my Machine Silver.

 

Looks good.

 

Looks great.
exactly how I installed mine. I drilled mine as well, but the blue print of the hole pattern was dead on. The fit was perfect.


great vendor as well.

 

Looks awesome, I can't wait to get mine!

 

Nicely done and I only drilled the outer 2 holes and no issues with staying on

 

That looks great!!
