Default No drill spoiler

My 2014 Stingray needs a spoiler.
Thinking of adding a color painted, no drill version.
i’m fairly handy but not looking to take a drill to my girl.
any experiences with the stick on spoilers?
I do not track it, but will take it over 90 at times on the highway.

Drilling is the easy part of adding a bolt on spoiler. Getting the rear fascia loose is where the work is. Much easier with a helper. Took my son and I under 2 hours to install. First one we had done so we took our time and we’re careful.

There are multiple threads on here where people have put the no-drill spoilers on without any issues. Just be sure to prep the surface properly.

My only concern would be the paint matching. You may want to consider a Carbon Flash painted spoiler.

The GM Z51 spoiler is a nice upgrade. I put an aftermarket on my C5 which was OK as a stick-on but fitment wasn’t perfect. My 17 had 1500 miles when I drilled into it to instal the Z51. Not hard to perform with the template, some time and a little courage. No issues with stick on but still room for error.

Using a good quality double sided tape like that available from 3M and prepping the surface properly, the stick on spoiler should be very secure. Good luck and post up some pics once you get it installed.

Use the red 3M tape and it will not go anywhere.

The Z51 spoiler (can) sticks right on over yer ducktail. It'll do nothing for your car on the streets though. And you can't track a convertible.

I have a no drill spoiler on my Stingray. Been on there for about 5 years now without issue.

Get what you want from a reputable vender, body color or Carbon flash to match your trim
CLEAN rear bumper multiply times with Isopropyl Alcohol to get rid of all waxes
It is best to have a friend to help align the spoiler in position with the bumper than doing it yourself
before making contact with the tape. Once it sticks, its DONE !
4 years, No problems even in 100 degree heat.
A Bitch to get off later !
Plenty of Videos on Youtube

I have used the tape on paint matched spoiler from eBay for a couple years.
Took it off to plastidip my car.
Dipped it a different color than the car and taped it down on the new green plastidip.
Zero adhesion issues.
