Default Spoilers....

My APR track spoiler is coming in about a month or longer. I have a base model C7. I live in the Dallas/ Ft worth location. Where should I install my spoiler? Dealers? or any good shop with C7 expertise? I know the dealers might charge an arm and legs. Any suggestions would help a lot. Thanks! I got some answer last time regarding a few shops with the kit install: Corvette world dallas, LG motorsports, Twenty first century muscle cars.

If you know the one you want order it on line. Save taxes.

Did you find an answer yet? Im in DFW too with a base model also. Eventually I will spring for a spoiler. I asked my service dept at Huffines Plano and the spoiler I want (stock Z51 style) will cost roughly $780 installed by them.
Please post here if you find a better deal.

I would give Baily's Hyperformance a call, they are located in north Fort Worth. They are great car guys and do all kinds of performance work at fair prices. They have done work on my C7 that was outstanding and handled the car with care.

Great installation guide and tips. I also like those smoke tail lights you got there. You lucky you got the z51 with pre drill holes. I have to have a template to install my spoiler.

Yeah, it's great having the factory pre drilled holes to work with. That is why I'd want a competent shop doing it. The liability is on them !

thanks for the insight,
They are holding up great! I drove my car during the winter with very cold temps and no issues at all....other than some dirt accumulation on the inside.

I am going to be removing them for cleaning and then I will re-apply the VHB tape in areas that are not so visible. Other than that no issues...Still love the look.

No - that price is for the spoiler including installation. Out the door $780

I called and ask and they said they don't install any aftermarket spoiler.
