C6 spolier installation?
C6 spolier installation? Has anyone installed a body color matched spoiler on their C6? If so can you pass on the installation steps? Thanks, I can't stand the factory installed black one!

You have to disconnect the brake light - again squeeze and pull. Four nuts hold the spoiler on. Once they are all off, you have to transfer the brake light to the new spoiler. The two inside mounting studs hold it on. They just screw into the plastic so don't overtighten them. They have a torx end but I just used a set of vise grips.
Then reverse removal steps to reinstall everything.
Reasonably simple install.

Easiest install ever!
Just pop out the inner taillights (1 torx screw) and reach inside to access the 4 nuts. Spoiler pops right off.
Enjoy

How can that thing even be called a spoiler? does it serve any function at all? It is soooooo small and doesn't look like it has the ability to function at all.

I got mine from GMPARTSDIRECT.COM. Saved over $50 from everyone else.
Easy to install, took about 30 minutes. Someone posted instructions but remove the right and and left inner tail lights and unscrew from the inside. Just be careful not to drop the screws.
Good luck.

Completed installation!
It took all of 45 minutes to change out the door handles and rear spoiler. One item of note; you will need a 4mm socket to remove the 4 studs that need to be transfered to the new spoiler.
Thanks for the advice!
