Should we use locate, blue grade when installing the longer bolts? I removed the shorter bolts and saw the blue stuff on them. It would make sense so they don't back out. Thanks for the info. I ordered/received the Ebay wicker bill. Quality appears to be okay by me as well.

I bought mine off flea bay that came with the oval grommets.
However, after looking at them I would suggest the following if you are looking for them

Get some clear 100% silicone caulk and run a nice round bead completely around on the rear of the wickerbill into the indents instead of the grommets. Let dry 100%. Make sure the bead is raised enough so it acts as a grommet when dry. This should do the exact same thing as cushioning the wickerbill against the other spoiler. That is the only reason for the grommet. It cushions where the two parts meet.

Just my 2 cents

Default Did you get these at the Tune Time Performance in NJ?

The longer bolts that gm charges an arm and a leg for? INCLUDED.

You sons a b*****. Nobody could've told me that? Lol

Go to tune time performance, a forum vendor and order yourself one of them if you want it OEM with the crossflag embossed from GM with the gaskets already on the spoiler and the long bolts.

Was a little more than i thought i would spend but still cheaper than buying everything separate.

such a nice piece. I know it's not carbon fiber etc but it sure does feel like important!



Foam gaskets already mounted.

can't wait to install it. 32f here now. Don't feel like opening garage and letting all the 67f air out of it right now. When I built this addition I sure wish I had the foresight to think about leaving enough room in front and BEHIND the car! Not starting it to move it 3 feet. Wait for another day. Something to look forward to in this dreary winter.
Do you know the part numbers and approximate costs for the set? Thank you.

Default Wicker bolts to remove ??

What size are the four existing bolts I need to take out to install the wicker?
A 3mm hex key fits, but does not seem to go in deeply enough.
Afraid that I'll strip the head trying to take them out.
