Default Needs Install procedure

So I have the standard spoiler on my Z06 and have gotten the visible carbon fiber oem version that I bought off someone. (not the big wing). Does anyone know what I will need to do to swap them out. I believe all the same holes and hardware are used, thank you. If the rear bumper does have to be removed, what is a reasonable amount of shop time to do the job, thanks.

Bumper does need to come off. Figure it could take them a few hours if there is adhesive they need to clean up when swapping the wings.

GM offers a low spoiler visible carbon fiber option that uses the same mounting points as the standard spoiler. That’s what I am referring to

Yes that one should be a straight swap using all the existing holes, just may need to clean up adhesive on the bumper. I was just highlighting the video linked is for a high wing and not the same procedure as that doesnt use the existing mounting holes and also requires additional tub support brackets.

I have the OEM CF (low) spoiler and the dealer had to take the bumper off. They use same holes and can use same hardware (even though new hardware came with it). I purchased thru chevy online and paid $200 to include installation. After the dealer was done (hour or two), they handed me a bill for $1,100. I showed them my order receipt which included installation and they were left confused shaking their heads.

Good one! Usually it's the customer "left confused and shaking their heads" at the size of the bill
