Default Going from Z28 to SS Spoiler, any heads up?

Is this going to be a straight bolt on, or am I going to need to drill holes where the two center supports go? Any tips/advice on doing so?

straight bolt on, the two center supports just set on the hatch. just have to splice the led brake light wires into where the z28 brake light used to go in.

I had to re-run the wire from the passenger side to driver side and cut out the grommet hole, as well as splice the two wires together, not hard to do at all. I did find also that I needed 4 additional bolts with washers 2 different lengths as you dont re-use the factory nuts.

Not bad at all. You may want to take the time to tape up all the corners on the spoiler and the rest of the body just so you won't make little scratches while you are lining it up correctly and have to touch up. PITA

I didn't drill any holes in the center, I didn't think it was necessary. The place I bought mine from came with some thin material attached so I just left it there to keep from contacting the decklid. It is secure enough that way.
