Z51 spoiler install....

Does anyone have a detailed write up on how to install the Z51 spoiler on a base C7? Just purchased one today and would like to get a head start on the install process.

Thanks,
Brandon

Brandon, check under the "sticky" that has the DIY projects. There may be something there. I know the rear bumper cover has to be removed.

Install

I would find a reputable dealer or body shop and have them do it. Just not worth messing up your car. A friend of mine tried and scratched the back. Cost him more than a dealer install to fix the paint. Then he paid the dealer to install it anyhow. OUCH!!!!!!!!!!! If you decide to try be careful and good luck.

There is. Look for the rear bumper removal in the DYI section. I haven't tried it yet. I would like to add a wing. Mine is a 2015 DD and a wing gets in the way of loading the cargo area. I want to add one this coming winter as I will no longer need a DD (it's called retirement)
so a wing would look good. I read the procedure and it will take some time to remove it (lot of bolts) but very doable. Let us know and take some pics., please. It's in the Tech section in the how to's.
