Just installed my wickerbill, doesn't seem right.
Look how low it is, this is on the highest setting. I think the lowest setting would make it almost non-existent.
You can also see the outer edges of it hangs below the OEM spoiler. I followed the GM instructions that clearly stated to have the template lined up with the BOTTOM edge of the spoiler. Is this how your guys looks?

Yep, I just checked mine. Looks close, but I think they may be a bit low. The second rivnut washer looks like it sits below the spoiler. On mine, that same washer is above the bottom edge of the spoiler. No one's gonna notice unless you tell them. I wouldn't worry about it.

Mines definitely higher. I dont have a pick with the OE wicker because the 2 Piece aftermarket one was my first upgrade.

This is a picture of mine. The lower part of the dog ear sits flush with the base of the spoiler and doesn't hang low like yours. If all you care about is looks, I wouldn't worry. If you were actually trying to achieve more stability around the track, then you probably won't get the same down force.

I cheated and moved the template up slightly when I installed mine.

Haha I would've done the same if my car hasn't already had the wicker installed!!!

Comparing mine to all the pics from GM on the web, it looks like I indeed installed it correctly.
But imo it seems the OEM install is a bit low, I'd like it up about 3/16 of an inch from where GM recommends.

Interesting. Mines a CTF car like yours, but had the wicker installed from the factory by GM. Whoever put mine on didn't follow the instructions correctly lol

Followed the instructions on mine and it came out this way but remember cheating it just a very small amount so wicker bill did not stick down below other spoiler, but again small incremental move what I remember.

I think you installed it correctly with regards to the instructions, but I cheated it up like D2M...
