High Wing Spoiler Install Questions
So the high wing spoiler I ordered arrived and I'm at a crossroads. For those unfamiliar with the difficulty: the high wing spoiler uses separate holes from the factory spoiler that is on the car now. I have to either:
A - Order a new trunk lid B - Have a body shop fix the holes and repaint it C - (Least Appealing) plug the holes myself Anyone have ideas on prices and/or recommendations? I'm considering putting on the TF3 stripes, which would cover four of the five holes. |

A - Order a new trunk lid
B - Have a body shop fix the holes and repaint it C - (Least Appealing) plug the holes myself D - Find some with a deck lid same color as yours with no spoiler and trade.

I went the body shop route with mine. I had them weld the holes & then paint. And yes, after all was said & done. It ended up being an $850 spoiler. Worth it for me, but maybe not for some. Good luck whichever way you go though.

If I wasn't changing out a mod with a mod, I would do the high wing spoiler.
I have the NLP spoiler with custom painted on stripes.. not going to happen for my car. in person, the High wing spoiler is sooo SEXY!!! |

That spoiler on the ZL1 is indeed a GM part.
Saw it in person. I lucked out and found an undrilled trunk lid at www.car-part.com Found one in RJT for $300 in A+ condition that I used for mine. I still have my original trunk lid I can swap out if needed.

Yes, you are right...I was misled by the perspective of the picture....sorry guys.. I found a useful link form an other camaro forum explaining the installation procedure. Can I post it? or it is against the forum rules ?
