Problem Getting Z51 Spoiler Installed on my Stingray Convertible
Just wondering if anyone knows where I can get my Z51 Spoiler I purchased from CorvetteMods a couple of months ago installed. I live in the Northern Virginia area. The dealership where I bought this Vette and my previous Vette tells me they will do it but they don't have time right now. Too busy. They want me to call my Service Manager everyday to see if the person who can install it has the time. I tried that method for a couple of weeks and I'm not going to spend my life calling my service manager every day. They also have a Body Shop and I tried to see if they would install it but they said they are "too busy". They also had no idea how to install it and I had to provide a copy of the directions (with pictures) (I was speaking to an adjustor so he probably doesn't have the expertise). It's a genuine GM part and already painted Crystal Red. Are there any local body shops that anyone has used and recommend? If not, I guess I will just have to go from body shop to body shop locally until I find someone who will install it. Perhaps if I had bought it through the dealership my spoiler would have been installed by now? Thanks for any suggestions.

It sounds like they just don't want to do it. It seems unlikely that they couldn't put you on the schedule. If that's the case, I don't think I would trust them to do the job.

A dealer in Charlotte told me the GM labor book says one hour total labor time...Interesting...

I was hoping they would put me on a schedule even if it was a month away but they said they couldn't do that and I would have to wait until the Corvette tech was free.
