Calling all ss owners
 
Can you post up a pic of how your spoiler is sitting? This is a picture of my SS spoiler sitting on my LT.... Not mounted yet but it is sitting "naturally" this way and seems to look pretty much on par. Can you guys let me know? I will be mounting using VHB tape and once placed it will NOT be adjustable.

There is a couple threads somewhere in regards to the "where" that you mount the SS spoiler. Try the Search method and you may find one.

If not, here's 2 pics from my gallery that shows the factory mount location.
The bottom edge of the spoiler should be just about even with the bottom edge of the window washer sprayer nozzle.
Looking at your pics, your's appears to be a tad lower than mine.

Okay. Luckily I just layed the thing on there its not secured or anything. I was planning on using the washer nozzle as a reference point. Your pics are exactly what I was looking for. Lining the bottom of the spoiler and the bottom of the nozzle seems to be the best plan of action. Also, I will have to make a premium subscription for the awesome decal. ;)

Yep, your "plop" looks about right. Make sure it's straight, and nobody will be the wiser - assuming you paint it to match.

Looks good. You did just what I did. Lay it on and adjust it till it looks good.

Wow lving the paint job!!!! I got my ipcw tails installed just in time for hurricane Matthew. Maybe I am an outlier but I kinda like the spoiler being black and not paint matched. I think it'll look good against the other black accents like the tails stripes and rims. What would pull it all together is it I could finally make those damn roof racks black.

Spoiler to come......

Would that be a spoiler alert?

aradmahogany 10-07-2016 07:24 AM

HAHA YES!!!! I am quite disappointed in myself as I really should have made a step by step thread with pictures on how to install. Although very straight forward there were a few key barriers I came to while installing the lights. Cant wait to get the spoiler taped up and mounted and completed Greggs behind! On aside note; these lights are EXTREMELY bright compared to stock, and are not only worth it for looks but for safety as well.

RF2 - Really nice cut lines on the 2-tone. Almost looks like it could be in a '60s Batman episode. Wish I could do that!

Overall the 3M VHB did great, but due to the curvature of the spoiler not sitting JUST RIGHT against the hatch, the tape dint fully contact all the way around. Solution? Fill the gap with Permatex Window and Glass sealer (dried clear) and the wing will be on till the day Gregg dies. The 3m is nearly cured and the wing is NOT going anywhere, just going to add the silicone for extra piece of mind.

:thumb: Looking good.

A little hint. Put some pipe foam insulation on your step ladder tubes. A couple dollars well spent so you don't have an "Aw ****" moment.
Wouldn't want you to scratch the paint or the stripes on your car.

Thank you for the advice!!!! This has got me thinking... With all these mods would my LT qualify as an "RS".....After all the GM RS trim of any platform is just visual modification right? HMMM Next mod I think will need to be a "custom" Emblem.
