Default Didn't like the fit of ZR1 spoiler

I bought an aftermarket ZR1 spoiler and don't like the fit.
I'll probably post it for sale in a few days local to the Tampa area. I don't want to ship it.

I thought it would install with tape but it won't and I just didn't like the distance from the edge of the hatch. Word of caution. When installing it it will scratch your clear coat. So that is my next task, fixing the damage I inflicted while installing the spoiler that I now removed.

Why not just install it correctly?

1. Who did you order it from?

2. How did you scratch the car?

3, what is the fit issue?

4. Is it painted?

Where did you order it from? Is it a factory piece or aftermarket?

Steve R, yours looks like a perfect fit...looks good!

If that is the pic of it I think it looks great. What is the problem?

Did you drill the holes relatively bigger than the bolt? That is a common mistake.
They bind up a little.

Mine scratched the hell out of the clearcoat on the top of the rear bumper as well. Got it from a vendor on here that was selling them for $250 painted.

I haven't installed one yet,but I would also make sure not to tighten down each stud at a time,always tighten in sequence pattern until all are snug,also do not over tighten,this will prevent warping as much as possible.
