Yes the spoiler and wheels

The spoiler will fit but you will need to do a few things.

1. Drill a new hole in the deck lid for the 3rd brake light wire
2. Either drill 2 new holes in your deck lid or cut off the 2 new posts on the spoiler (I did this).
3. Fill in the 3 remaining holes left by the OEM spoiler (the 3 holes are right under the 3rd brake light).

Since you car is a 2010 if you remove your spoiler and you notice your paint is chipping you can use the TSB out by GM to have the trunk lid re-painted if you have a good relationship with your dealership they will fill in the holes as part of the re-paint. My dealership did this all costs covered.

You will love the spoiler

Hi I purchased mine from Gary for $418 painted and shipped.

I installed mine it was very easy I cut off the two posts on the ZL1 spoiler so it will use the factory holes in the deck lid, and drilled 1 hole for the wiring harness.

Now the issue is once you install the spoiler you will have two holes under the 3rd brake light you have two options. I would plan on $300 to fill in the holes and re-paint the deck lid.

Since you car is white I would opt for option # 1 a cheap solution and on white you would never know you had the plugs I have seen several on the forum go this route.

1. Email Maureen from Rodgers Chevrolet she sells plugs you can paint to cover the holes.

or
2. Have your holes filled in and the deck lid and re-painted since my car is a 2010 I lucked out because I had the spoiler paint chip issues GM has a TSB out on this and it requires the deck lid to be repainted at no cost, the dealership filled the holes in for me.

How did you connect the 3rd brake light?

What did you mean by the TSB from GM for the deck lid repaint?

GM Issues a TSB for the spoiler paint chip issue it calls for the spoiler and deck lid to be re-painted mine fell into this issue so the dealership re-painted the decklid, and filled in the holes at no cost.

Is there a how to or a instructional area on how to remove that side panel to access the wiring area?

I got my harness from him today, but have no clue on how to remove the panel.

i bought mine painted off of ebay for 165 shipped and it was brand new. i used rubber grammets to plug the hole. it was great quality and i only had to drill one hole for the wire. also i didnt have to have any special wiring harness either

You'll need some way to connect it. if you want the brake light to work, or does it come with a different style end?

[biggerisbetter]

it is just a wire i have already wired mine in using an inline splice on the brake light.

I never found one what I had to do is remove the kick panel on the passenger side (the one that runs along the edge of the door sill (they just pop off), the same for the side panel it pops off once that is removed you will see where the OEM 3rd Brake light is connected you have the option to unplug the brake light in the window and just run the one on the spoiler or you have have both plugged in.

So I just bought my 2013 2ss/rs and at the dealer I purchased the ZL1 spoiler... With all the mods, they have to fill the 3 extra holes with bondo and repaint. Sux. just bought a new car and already there is bondo in it :(

Question is that if I purchase the ZL1 wheels, are they a direct fit? Or am I going to have to do some more modifications and cut things up...?

direct fit to the car, you will need different rubber/tires though
