ZL1 Spoiler Alternative? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Looking at the ZL1 spoiler, but with the OEM spoiler holes and all seems like a hassle. Is their another spoiler out there similar to it that hides the holes?

The ZL1 spoiler is one of a kind if you are talking about exact design. Heard mention on this site you could attempt to swap trunk lids to one from a V6 without the spoiler, if you like the ZL1 spoiler that much.

There are a ton of aftermarket spoiler with different styling out there as well that are designed to fit the stock holes.

Not talking exact design, but similar. Thanks for the info though.

the Z/TA Trans Am spoiler is about to closest I've seen to it. Doesn't have the brake light but does use factory holes so it's a simple bolt on. I debated long and hard between those but I went with the ZL1 spoiler. You may not like it but there are several options you can do besides repainted and welding existing holes on a truck that already has a spoiler

Do you have a photo of your spoiler? and do you have Rally Stripes? I've been bouncing back and forth between the ZL1 and the Z/TA as well... I like the ZL1 better, but then i'm stuck deciding what to do about my rally stripes since you will see them under the 3rd brake light

I went with SLP's ZL spoiler which uses the stock SS spoiler holes.

I don't have rally stripes but I placed a piece of vinyl over it. I know that sounds bad but it meshes well under the bumper and I'm going to put some JB Weld on the backside. You can the zl1 spoiler painted cheaper than the Z/TA spoiler.

Since you have a 2010 pull your factory spoiler off and see if you have paint chips if so you get have your local dealership do the TSB on it calls for a re-paint of the decklid, in the process you can ask them how much to fill in the holes not used by the ZL1 spoiler. I did this my local dealership included it in the TSB I was golden I pre-drilled the new holes before they painted the decklid they filled in the old holes and put my ZL1 spoiler back on

I tried that too. Actually your build gave me the idea. I was told since my b2b was thru I had to pay out of pocket by the dealer and the Chevy customer service rep that's on here. Hopefully the op doesn't run into that problem. Car looks great by the way

SinisSick · 08-01-2013, 08:08 PM

does the 3 year 36k b2b run out at the end of the year if the car was purchased in '10 or does it end on the actual date it was purchased?

Yes but I am surprised since this should fall under the ain't warranty which is if I recall 5/100k and GM has a TSB on this.

I just plugged the hole on mine with plastic trim plugs. Can hardly notice them.
