Default Low profile spoiler ???

It is necessary to drill holes to mount a low profile spoiler? My dealership shows on the mounting instructions to drill 6 holes in the rear end ? I thought it was held on with double sided tape.
Thanks

The accessory low profile spoiler is stick-on, the RPO? factory low profile spoiler is bolted on from the factory.

Do the factory low profile spoiler mounting points match the stock Z51 and high spoiler mounting points?

Yes, I optioned my non z51 with the low profile spoiler/splitter just to have the front splitter and the factory mounting holes. I bought aftermarket high-wing since it was on constraint. Had the dealer swap the spoilers before delivery. No issues with installation it’s a direct replacement

If you ordered your car with a factory low spoiler like I did with mine, then your rear bumper comes predrilled from the factory. The dealer installs it during PDI. If you ordered an aftermarket version, then it's usually just installed using VHB. It would also depend on the maker of the low spoiler. Some are made to be bolted in, instead of using VHB.
