Ernie go to Eklers Corvette, they have instructions on a rear spoiler mount with screws. If you need help let me know. I'm sure they will send you a template.

its not bad, you should have a template with it at least i did, i purchased mine directly through dealer, and you only have to take tail lights out to access new holes

Ernie... you could always get new double sided tape and not hassle with drilling holes.

Ernie, if your dealership did the install, bring it back to them. They should definately fix that.I would be pissed. I thought you did the install, thats a different story. Keep us posted. Or tell them to take it off, and do the install yourself. That would be the best bet.

I think the issue is with the preparation and not the tape.

I'd agree. If they used 3M tape that stuff is indestructible.

I've used it to put moldings on other cars and it is great.

with good prep and 3m its not coming off. I'd be worried about the screws vibrating loose at some point and loosing it that way
