camaro rear spoiler

i will be getting an "SS" spoiler for my camaro soon, and i just wanted to do some research on how the spoiler comes off. also, will i need to drill new holes in the hatch for the new piller/posts that will be resting on the hatch?
TIA guys/gals

Like four or six bolts. I don't remember. And now, they come with pads for you to sit the posts down on.

well i am getting it from another person who bought it and is gonna sell it now, so it might not be the latest version, so i am unsure if it has the pads you speak of.

wait for OEM if you're a stickler. Keep an eye out on the for sale part of the forum and you'll find one. I'm glad I waited for my OEM pieces.

is there any real way to tell an OEM from a cheap knock off? like an SLP part number or something?

Im trying my hardest to find one from thespoilercompany last week and this week. not a single one to be seen. i only was going to get that becasue the quality was vouched for on LS1tech. I mailed them yesterday and they said they would check stock to see if they could relist. competition...... anyway, if they dont have anymore, who else has an aftermarket one that fits? (i dont think i could bring myself to pay much over 200 for one of these things....
