Default Installing SS Spoiler
Anyone have any hits or tips that would make it go smoother when I attempt to install my new SS Spoiler?

Don't have any tips. It's pretty easy and straight forward. The most annoying part was taking the the plastic piece off under the hatch to get at the bolts.

It is a direct bolt on, make sure you also have the small pieces that go under the two tails that go on the hatch.

Have a piece of coat hanger wire to help route the 3rd brake light wire through the spoiler. I had do this when my uncle first got his lt1. The person that had it before him had that huge foot tall spoiler on it so I had to put the stock one back on it. I did that the day he bought the car.

You basically just yank it off. Thankfully it has removable Tabs so if you yank on it and one of the taps gets damaged or breaks off you just go to the local auto parts store and buy some more and put them back on the plastic piece.
