This is all just speculation I won't be sure till I get one and attempt to make it fit. The only other thing I would see as an issue is where the center holes in the trunk lid are as in relation to the brake light.. if they are hidden under it I say rout out the underside of the spoiler so that you can use one of them to route the tail light wires through. Get nice water proof grommet and a plug for the other side and you are set.. Again I am only going by the pictures but when I get one I would much rather make it fit the car than the car fit it..

Agreed.
The exploded parts diagram for the ZL-1 spoiler clearly shows adhesive. Like you, I'm assuming it's more for liquid intrusion control than it is for physical holding/mounting properties.
Given the nature of the mechanical fasteners, the tape has to be serving a dual purpose, for sure.
