1. Remove the two inner taillights using a #15 Torx driver
2. Reach through the taillight openings and use a 10 MM socket to remove the four bolts
3. Unlug the wiring harness from the lamp assembly and remove the old spoiler
4. Remove the two inner bolts on the old spoiler and lift away the lamp assembly
5. Attach the lamp assembly to the new spoiler using the two inner bolts
6. Install the two outer bolts to the new spoiler
7. Place the new spoiler in position on your C6 and reattach the wiring harness by reaching into the taillight openings
8. Reach through the taillight openings and use a 10 MM socket to attach the four bolts
9. Reinstall the two inner taillights using a #15 Torx driver

Remove the inner tailights and you can reach the four nuts that
hold on the spoiler. Disconnect the wire for the CMS before
you remove the spoiler.

It took more time to open the box from Fred Bean than to change the spoiler.
