Default SS spoiler

Sure don't like it, anyone know if they are stuck on or screwed on? I'm going to see if the dealer contact will consider switching my trunk lid with one from a V6.

I thought they were the same on the V6 and the V8. I know that GMPP is gonna have a different spoiler.

oh idk i like it too. I've got VERY few complaints about the new Camaro EXCEPT that it doesn't have HUD. They have it on the list of later options but it should have been there from the beginning. It's a VERY cool option and alot of people miss it when they had a car with it then got one without. i had a 2000 GTP with it then sold it for my '96 Z28. Then i bought my Vette and it didn't have it but i was able to add it. THANK GOD

Did you see the bigger spoiler that is supposed to be an option at PRI??? I don't know if they had it at SEMA or not.

The SS (or RS, same thing) spoiler is attached with fasteners that put holes in the deck lid.

The GMPP optional blade spoiler and dovetail spoiler (as seen on the Dale Jr SEMA Camaro) will use these same holes. The high-rise spoiler will not.

Only a non-RS V6 will have a deck lid without holes.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a v-6 owner and swap it youself. Just post up an add, meet, and swap out your deck lids! In all honesty, v-6 poeple will most likely be wanting to do the old ss clone route and you could make money off it. BONUS; it debadges your ar and gives you a sleeper feel! Unless of course you want your badge then i guess youll have to get another one. lol. But i wouldnt have them do it at the dealer they'll end up making money off it that you could make yourself. Dont ever voluntarily downgrade anything at the dealer. Theyre blood suckers. My dad used to own several dealerships including one GM (chevy pontiac saab) so i know all about it
