So, I bought some Z06 Stage 2 Style Rear Spoiler Winglets but it didn't come with the inserts to attach the screws. I reached out to the vendor but they didn't sell any, would some one have any idea where I can buy some or would it be safe to just attach the screws to the spoiler? Thanks for the help!

Are you putting this on a Stingray or a GS/ZO6? The Stingray doesn’t have the built in nuts that are standard on the GS/ZO6.

Do they even line up on the Stingray?

Sorry, I forget that those litter details matter, yes regular stringray Z51, on the description it is stated it would fit any model except Zr1.

I purchased mine from ACS and if you go to their web site, they have an install video, here is a link. You will need a RivNut tool. They sell them, but I went to harbor freight and saved the extra cost. Also the setting on the Z51 spoiler is tricker if you plane to install the adjustable wicker bill section. I suggest you look at the sit eI sent you and see what is involved in getting them spaced properly.

When the factory does it on the GS/ZO6 they also use double sided foam trim tape.

Do you have the proper screws and protective washers?

Good luck - hope you find the parts you need for the install. The stage 2/3 spoiler looks good on a base car.

This is what I got, seems like the washer is on the screw already plus they sent double sided tape.
