I have a 2012 and the Z28 one I’m talking about fits mine.

At first I was, but they will be covered by the spoiler so I am ok. I am trying to measure to see if I have enough room to drill new holes, or if we will be able to do some work with the stock holes themselves to get the spoiler to fit.

Did you use a unibit on your stock holes?

This is true! With the help of my dad I know we will knock it out smoothly, but I was in a rush to get it on, and we didn't have the time to do it ourselves this past week with work and going out of town, so I thought of letting the pros do it.

Thank you for the suggestion I will definitely keep this in mind.

I appreciate the suggestion. I pray we can do a clean install on my lid the first time, but I definitely would be more confident on a spare lid lol.

Like another person said before, just spread them out a bit across the spoiler. I think 2 of mine lined up right and the others are good enough. Had it installed for about a year and a half with no problems. But if you are worried, or don’t want to do it yourself, it might be worth the $120 to have it done “right”.

My thoughts exactly. Not that I would be against buying the true ACS, but it is out of my budget range right now, so I got what I could afford yah know. If doing a little work to it will bring me good results I am all for it. Did you use a unibit to widen the stock holes? I really appreciate all of the help you guys are giving me!

I did not know about this one. That is a good deal with the wicker and color match.

They have a similar one for the 2010-13 body as well.

Yeah this is a good forum man. People will usually help you pretty promptly. I just used a drill bit I only needed 5/16 or so in a couple holes. Post pics when you get it on.

It definitely is. I love getting on here and seeing the love everyone has for the community and rides. Ok I appreciate it. I am hoping that widening the holes a little bit is all I need. I will do!

Alright last night my Dad & I put the spoiler on & we love it! It took about an hour and a half to elongate the 5 holes that did not line up with drill bits. We used washers on the holes that needed the most work. Here are the pictures. Once again I appreciate all of y'alls help!

The "real" Z28 spoiler you are correct. But the aftermarket versions are made to fit the earlier models
