Default Rear spoiler upgrade

I finally got around to upgrading the rear winglets on my '18 Grand Sport. I know a few people have asked me to do an installation video on the stage 2 upgrade so I couldn't resist! haha There are other videos out on YouTube on this subject but hopefully mine can give folks all the necessary details they need. I encountered a couple of problems using genuine OEM GM parts and show how to work through the issues to get perfect results! Hope you enjoy the video and for those that have been following me on YouTube I have updated the channel name from "Ozzstar" to "Ozzstar's Cars". Let me know what you folks think and thank again for all the support! Take it easy. -Glen (Ozz)

Does this fit a Z51?

Just kidding, I've seen that asked a hundred times in these stage 2 & 3 threads and couldn't resist.

I've done the stage 2 winglet upgrade on all 3 of my Grand Sports and this video is well done, plus the GM part number is included.

Think I would have test fit prior to pulling the two way tape backing.

I didn't show that on video but I did dry fit. By eye everything looked good, then it got real. Either way the winglets fits perfectly now. Thanks
