There really isn't any way to adjust it other than using the foam pieces below the left and right sides of the spoiler, and below the center posts. The spoiler can only be bolted in one way. When I bolted mine in I just pushed down on the spoiler a bit while tightening the bolts, but not too tight. I also went out and bought longer bolts with a bigger washer because I didn't really like the bolts that came with the spoiler. Mine does sit a tiny bit higher on one side but that is due to the center post foam pieces being just a tad too tall, but it is something I could definitely live with.

I'm glad the spoiler thing worked out.

Sorry to jump off topic but to the "doesn't read anything, he supports John McCain" comment I have to respond.

Obama has written more best selling books than any real legislation since he has been in Congress. (real legislation does not include non-binding resolutions, naming post offices, etc.).

Oh, and Obama is a communist. McCain is not much better, but at least McCain's V.P. never ran against him or said that he was way to inexperienced to be president before deciding to run with him...

Yes. They'll do any color, assuming you provide a code. (Give them a wrong code and prepare to get a repaint...)

Hmmm. Well I did not have the foam strips in place yet,because I did not want to attach them until after paint. I think I might need to take pics. I think the bigger washer thing on the bolts is a must. (the ones that came with it are too small for the holes on the trunk)

Also what are the small black plastic strips that came along with the pads and 3rd brakelight? They look like they have one tab with a hole on each. (there is like 6 I think)

Those are only used if you want to drill new holes for the center posts. Also, I just used some black RTV around the holes in the hatch to make sure I don't have any leaks. Washed the car a few times since then and not a drop.

Alright, so it's on. Very easy install, and as said before, the foam crap needs to come off, but it was easy to get off. I put the foam on the pillars, because I had a gap there, needed to fix. Paint is great, slightly off, but my car has 100k mile old paint on it, it's going to look off. It's not OEM fit, it's about 1/2 cm off on each side of the spoiler, but for what you pay it's a great deal. It's hard to notice the gaps.

Oh and it's SUPER FREAKING LIGHT! The Z28 spoiler weights a ton compared to it. Now pics...

I have the same spoiler and got it painted by them too. Looks pretty good, has one little bubble in it. Can't complain too much for the price really.

I am thinking about adding the bolts to the center posts on mine, it sits about like yours but mine is white and gaps and that black foam really stand out. I am going to trim the foam back a bit and probably add those bolts and pull it down a bit. the pillars just don't sit close enough to the hatch as it is right now.

Might just be the pic but your hatch looks slightly shifted to the passenger side. My hatch seems skewed to the drivers side, I have about a 1/4 inch gap on the drivers side and around 3/8 on the passenger side, but the spoiler itself lines up with the hatch. So I need to make an adjustment to the hatch for mine.

I weighed the stock camaro spoiler and this one and this SS style weighs 1.8 pounds less, checked them several times and came up with the same each time. Not as big of a difference as I excpected based on other comments here about it being really light, but nice that it weighs less.

The weight is really noticable to me, the hatch jumps open on release now. Before I had to press the release a few times.

And the pic of my hatch isn't dead center, theres a gap, but it's less than what you actually see.
