70chevy03ss Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 sick, how in the hell did you get your old spoiler off?? heat gun + patience?? thx. yup. heat gun will work. and peel.. if you can put the tail gate in your house or basement. that way you can get the plastic to be bendable..

SSThunder Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 could you check out kinkos or a print place to see if they can copy it? I'd pay for the cost to get this done if you can get me a price. Anybody have a clue what a dealership would charge for the template?

Carl Eagle Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 just click on the pic top of the page I want it to be to scale, I have saved the pic on my pc but I wanted a pic of just the template to the exact size and the holes where they are supposed to be. You are supposed to cut the pieces out and fold it at the line and drill your holes in your bed with the bottom edge of the paper lined up with your tail light opening.

IndySilveradoSS Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 is there a p/n so we can get it from the dealer?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndySilveradoSS Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 (edited) the reason the p/n is not good on gm's website is that it's all part of the kit you buy from gm. for 900 you get the spoiler, brackets, hardware, and template. like it was said before, maybe you could make copies of the corners on a piece of paper, the main taligate spoiler is pretty self explanatory, but I would hate to f up the corners. thanks For the hell of it, i traced the enlarged image from my computer screen from the template, and took it out to the truck, and I think that'll work, it lined up perfectly!! now, if I only had enough balls to try it!! hope this helps. anyone know how to mount the main spoiler, i know there are five bolts on the back of it, and four on the outside, but are there speednuts behind that the bolts thread into? I've heard there are holes there from the factory. idk. Edited February 27, 2009 by BlkSilveradoSS03 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Eagle Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 I traced one out also, but you need to cut the hole out of the end and lay it inside the wing piece to see if the hole is in the right place. I layed it on the truck and checked again and again, measure twice and drill once. So I pulled the trigger on the drill I mean, and to my suprise it was in the right place (woo hoo), I got both holes drilled and the end pieces mounted on the truck, but I still need to fab up the brackets to complete the job. On my wing I will have to drill new holes because I welded the old holes up before I painted it. I will post up more pics when I get the brackets fabbed up.

IndySilveradoSS Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 looks very nice. I'm assuming once you take the taillights off you have access to put the nut on the stud of the side wing? Also, are there holes pre-drilled in your tailgate? i noticed you didn't have any bolts in it. The bracket in the pic that someone posted, looks simple, just bend and drill three holes..

IndySilveradoSS Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 also, anyone think of putting asmall "3rd brake light" recessed in the spoiler. I was behind a new gto today, and it had a fac. wing on it with a small led light bar that might look cool. idk, too rice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
