TheSpoilerCompanyQuestion?

Ok so I just got my ss spoiler off ebay from "TheSpoilerCompany" and was just wondering what the eight zip ties and two plastic clips that come with it are for???? Also anyone who has this spoiler did you use the one sided sticky foam pieces(4 of them) that came with it as well??? Any help would be appreciated as I look to put it on tommorow but have no idea what the zip ties or clips are for.

I'm the only 1 of 1,000,000 people who actually used the foam. Just set it on before bolting it down, you'll see if you need it or not.

Let us know how it fits and post a couple of pics too. Thinking about getting one as well. Did you order it painted?

I didn't use the foam, nor do I recommend it.

I used the foam on the center pillars but not on the sides. The zip ties and plastic clips are used to help you drill holes in your truck lid to bolt down the center pillars (which I did not do and don't think it is necessary)

Make that 2. I used the foam on both corners (not the center support). I actually didnt use the whole pre-cut piece. Rather, I used a sissors and cut it much smaller to make it "work" in just the right areas. Im **** like that.

Its a good idea to bolt it down bare first, then inspect it and see if it needs any slight bump in height in any one area.

Like you mentioned, some people will need it and some will not. There is a slight variance in size when the fiberglass curers. If you have any problems contact them right away. There customer service is A+. My first one was a dud, but the second one they sent me free of charge was great.

BTW, dont cut holes for the center supports!! Just leave them be. They are fine without being bolted down.

Oh yeah, and the zip ties and plastic things... I have no clue what they are for!! I have a bunch of screws and washers left over as well. lol

I bought one of these a while back, fits great...

Needs to be painted, I just set it on to test fit real quick.
Removal of the stock spoiler is kind of a pain.
You have to pull the plastic at the back end of the hatch down while the hatch is open, kinda feels like you're going to break it at first so just be careful.
