I'll be ordering either this or the splitter today....maybe both lol. Can't miss the sale!
We looked at a first gen Camaro spoiler we had here at the shop and liked the shape of that design. We then looked at what GM was putting on their fast cars like the ZO6 stage 3 and the last gen Z28 and came up with this design. We also read what people were saying on the forum here as to what they were looking for and what they liked and did like not about other spoilers. As for speed testing the car does not get out much. We have had it here since April and we are still on the first tank of gas!

I tried GHOST16 yesterday before you posted this but it said that the code was expired.

I tried to order the spoiler too the day after Halloween and the code didn't work. Any chance you'll honor it?

A miscommunication happened here at our shop and we want to let everyone know what is going on.

In a classic case of two people speaking the same language but not understanding what the other is saying we need to let you know that three holes will need to be drilled in the decklid to mount our spoiler. When we designed our new spoiler we used the GM blade spoiler for our bolt spacing and location. So when we asked the guys in our shop who built the spoiler if it used the factory holes we were told yes. While our spoiler does use factory holes they are not the factory holes for the pedistal mount factory SS spoiler. They are the factory holes for the GM blade spoiler. So three extra holes will need to be drilled into your deck lid to mount our spoiler. If we move the bolts (especially the outer two) we believe there will be too much flexing on the outer ends of the spoiler causing them to come into contact with the quarter panel of the car. The deck lid IS designed for bolt spacing and location of this spoiler because GM already has holes cut out in the under decklid bracing at the exact location of the outer two holes are drilled.

If you have ordered a spoiler from us and after reading this you decide you do not want to drill any holes in the decklid of your car to mount our spoiler. Please contact us and we will refund your money.
Our apologies for the misunderstanding.

Just saw this after ordering. My timing is horrible... Where do these 3 holes have to be drilled on an SS deck lid? Just to confirm, will there be any holes showing after taking the SS spoiler off (of the SS deck lid) and putting yours on?

If I have to drill new holes from the top, will I be able to access those holes from the bottom (inside) to get a nut on the spoiler bolt?
