Z51 Spoiler Install with Tape?

Spoiler should not be put on with tape. period. Far too much pressure on the adhesive.

If you do it, make sure both surfaces are virgin clean; alcohol, acetone, the whole bit. But I still wouldn't do it.

Yep it's an easy drill once you get the back off the car ...the template is fine. These are the type of jobs that if you get the guts to do them, and just think about it , and read the instructions, you feel a lot more confident to do other things save you a lot of money. The stuff is just not hard, I have found all the GM instruction docs to be very good over the years. And the tools are mostly sockets , screwdrivers, torx heads and a trim popper, that's about it.

I don't have instructions or a template lol. A buddy of mine gave me his old z51 spoiler. I guess I can always just put masking tape on the back and align the spoiler where it should go making the bolts make a small indent in the tape, and just drill there.

Yup, just make one...painters tape,.put a hint of paint on the stud, have a friend help you set it down perfect, mark it and drill it
And you got lots of leeway because the spoilers going to cover any minor hole elongation you make…
