you guys are damn nuts. Your gonna pay someone else EXTRA to install your wing? Lol
I'm sure one of the first things GM will train the techs in is swapping out the wing. They will also be taught with...... a c8!
You want an 80 year old that worked on model Ts then good luck. lol

No big deal installing, some folks are making a mountain out of a mole hill, IMO!
I'll have my Courtesy Delivery small dealer's quality Corvette tech do it. He'll also drill whatever holes are needed for rivets on the Carbon Flash painted Carbon Fiber Side Skirts and Splitter Ground Effects I'm also ordering as he did on my GS! (If you want to "worry" best for that! Suppose the drills the holes in the wrong place, suppose he overfills the dry sump?
) If needing help with the High Rear Wing he may ask the body shop (on the same property) for assistance but I doubt it!
Taking off the rear bumper on the C7 is easy! The C8 will be the same. Typical of GM (and other manufacturers) it uses a few clips and some bolts. GM designs these assemblies to make it easy to install in Bolwing Green! This is NOT rocket science. I removed the lower bumper on my C7 to install my rear diffuser (I'm NOT a car body person) also held by clips and a few bolts. Found out it's more difficuclt that taking off the whole bumper! More parts to remove, like the rear vents that are held by clips! Any body shop does this routinely as the rear bumpr would be the most common thing to replace in even a minor rear end collision.
Don't Worry- Be Happy!

Nope. The bumper already has holes where the mounts are located on the ZR1. The mechanic just screws the stanchions in place. Watch around 9:15.
