Default Installing SS spoiler
Hey everyone, I bought an SS spoiler for my car and the guy gave me some bolts with the spoiler. The bolts don't seem like the right size and I was just wondering if there is any reason I can't use the stock bolts? I assume the stock spoiler has bolts- I haven't taken mine off yet.

Does the stock spoiler have studs or bolts that go into it? If it has studs can I take them out and reuse them or do I have to get bolts? What size bolts do I need?

Yeah, stock spoiler has studs tightened on with nuts and your spoiler has bolts and washers...

Just go to the hardware store (spoiler in hand, I've done it before) and get the right bolts...

My oem SS spoiler used the same hardware as the stock spoiler on my Z...studs in the spoiler tightened down with bolts. Sounds like you guys have aftermarket spoilers that are different...

My spoiler is aftermarket. I can't take the studs out of the stock spoiler and put them in the SS spoiler? Or are they different sizes?

My original spoiler's studs are molded in so they can't be used on the aftermarket wing.

I have three aftermarket spoilers right now and all of them use different size screws (bolts) to mount. Two use metric screws and one uses 1/4 20 x 1 inch bolts.
