Default another ss spoiler question

ok just ordered an ss style spoiler, wanna mention where but they are not a sponsor. paid 218 shipped painted to my door. my car is no show car. so a little less than museum quality is no huge deal, and I can correct the paint if needs a little polishing etc. ive searched and read several threads, but still wanna hear from u if u have done this swap on a z28, with a cheap spoiler. I know a million people all say get oem, but for my weekend toy/track bitch its worth the savings, for a couple bottle fills. any pics of installs?

The aftermarket spoilers fit like *** in comparison. I still rock mine but I have an Oem SS spoiler in my garage. Install is simple, I would just use mechanics wire to feed the led 3rd brake light harness thru the spoiler

I recently picked up an after market spoiler.

The stock z28 spoiler has bolts that go through the rear deck but the after market just has holes in it .

Anyone else have to work with this also or do I have a incomplete spoiler?

Where did you get yours from because my buddy just got one and it had holes with no studs just screws?
