guys, My body shop is replacing my stock SS spoiler (2011) with the ZL1 spoiler from GM parts house. Look at thes exposed holes. Has anyone ele come across this and if so, what did you do. I want to get this finished today but it's not looking good :(

BUMP HELP!!! PLease

Glen e · 08-09-2013, 02:25 PM

the expert way to do this is weld, grind and repaint...but I'm sure that's not what you want to hear.

The cheapo way is a push popper like what is used to hold the trunk interior up - button painted the color of the car....

13blackLS · 08-09-2013, 02:27 PM

Plugs..or have body shop fill and paint...or get new trunk stripes that go all the way back and cover after you fill...dont think there are really any other options...

ramsman34 · 08-09-2013, 02:47 PM

PISS. Well I was going to have them fill and paint but now I might just have them put the OEM spoiler back on and get a carbon fiber trunk later to match my ZL1 hod I am getting soon.

Ugh.

AW MAN I don't want that for my car. And I wanted to take out my stock spoiler and get the ZL1 spoiler. HMMM I think I am going to leave that stock.

Obzen · 08-09-2013, 03:46 PM

I used the plugs and painted them body color. You forget they are there. Welding would be better but its passable unless you're a show car.

GAHDOOSH · 08-09-2013, 04:14 PM

No expert but... Bondo, sand, and paint would be cheap

ramsman34 · 08-09-2013, 05:41 PM

$300 To fill, grind, sand, paint, etc. and they are letting me a pay for it later (great shop, cool owner). Rally strips have to go but that is fine as I am doing a new carbon fiber ZL1 hood later anyway.

I need to join Camaro Modifiers Anonymous, I just can't stop even when I am broke!

LMAO

Glen e · 08-10-2013, 09:56 AM
