The GM accessory deck spoiler installation for C8 Corvette

[@oldwentzvilleguy5435]

I think the spoiler looks great. I applaud your efforts. You will be the only person who will see the minor flaws. I just got back for the NCM in Bowling Green. It was very enjoyable trip and informative. I spoke with Shane at the museum and ordered my picture book on the build of my car. I finally got a TPW 10/24/22 on my corvette. Keep the videos coming.

[@carsandwhatnotsenior4279]

You have to be really excited at this point. I still get excited just looking at mine 2 1/2 months after receiving it. Good for you George and thanks for the comments. Gary

[@horizon_05]

Thank you so much for this video. I bought this spoiler but was reluctant to put it on because I didn't want to drill holes on the car. Now I'm going to put it on with the caulk

[@carsandwhatnotsenior4279]

I think you will like it. Its subtle and sort of hides the 3rd brake light yet adds just a little more style. Gary

[@terrencecondon7774]

Don't apologize for "rambling ". I smile every time I watch one of your videos. I shared a couple of them with my 22 yo son to show him your turntable. Incredible! I'm on a SR waitlist and was planning on doing museum delivery but the video you did about the picture book changed my mind. I enjoy watching content from "real " people rather than professional KZbinrs. Just be you

[@carsandwhatnotsenior4279]

Thanks so much . Makes me feel good. maybe rethink the museum delivery. I'm hearing that they may be starting up the plant tours again and that may be included with the museum option. Book is still worth getting though.

[@h.t.2416]

Gorgeous.

[@honduraschris]

Just started to watch your video. I have a 2023 base and want to add this spoiler. A lot of C8 base Stingray owners would love ( maybe just me) for you to post this up on Corvetteforum Just a suggestion. Now, I’ll watch the rest of your video thanks man !!

[@carsandwhatnotsenior4279]

Thanks Chris. You might change your mind about me posting after you finish the video. Truth be told my videos are not good. I think there are other videos out there on this spoiler that would be much better to post. I really like this spiler though. Gary

[@honduraschris]

@@carsandwhatnotsenior4279 I watched the video. Nothing wrong with at all. Thanks again 😎

[@marcg1964]

Looks great. I have been thinking seriously about getting this same spoiler for my 2020.

[@carsandwhatnotsenior4279]

It does look nice on the car and really kind of hides the 3rd brake light and doesn't disrupt the body lines of the car. You might really like it and if not it's removable without leaving holes

[@charlesmeade1880]

Gary, it looks great !! I tell you , that yellow color looks great ! Great JOB !

[@carsandwhatnotsenior4279]

Thanks so much Charles

[@johnr7794]

We cheated and ordered it installed on our 2023 3LT HTC, it looks great and I think it looks better than the higher ones. Good video, nice C8.

[@carsandwhatnotsenior4279]

Thanks John I think it looks better too but its subjective afterall. It's just enough spoiler for me. Gary

[@edmorse8654]

I just received a email from Shane about the tours starting up He said because of my museum delivery I should call him and set a time for a tour. I’m allowed two guest to bring including my wife. Only 15 people for each tour. Looking forward to it. Enjoy your vlogs. Ty

[@carsandwhatnotsenior4279]

Wow , great news for you on the tours. Saw the museum open in 1994 and haven't been back since. Hopefully will get down there again as soon as I can for the museum and the plant tour. Gary

[@thereissomecoolstuff]

That's crazy it took that long. Appreciate your candor and your comment about being younger. Keep them coming. You are fighting a lot of karma from your youth. Lol

[@carsandwhatnotsenior4279]

You mean cleaning the back of the spoiler? Yeah , it was nuts. It seems like everything I do now is in slow motion.

I’m getting ready to order my car in the next few weeks and when I do I’m ordering that but I’m gonna have it painted the body color .I do love that spoiler on your car looks good .

[@carsandwhatnotsenior4279]

Painted body color will look good also. It will make the body lines flow even nicer I think. Either way, this piece should be on the option list and no holes in the bumper.

[@sstrey174]

I had some extra sealant squeeze out when I installed...I just used a microfiber cloth some alcohol and a trim tool to get into the crevices to clean up

[@jeffkubiak7636]

Looks good. I prefer some kind of spoiler to set off the vehicle color. Can't wait to get my own. I've been at #1 on the list at the same dealership you got yours from since august. Gotten the run around since then but Tony said I'm definitely 1st for November allocations(they skipped over me for last 2 months based upon parts without offering me a chance to adjust my build for what was available). Sucks I will likely have a December delivery.... just in time to put it away for the winter.

[@carsandwhatnotsenior4279]

Yeah that does suck. Don't know why they didn't give you the chance modify your order if you wanted to. Can't believe they are still having parts problems. So nice to drive a new Corvette home on salty , slushy dirty snow in December. Hang in there Jeff. Gary

[@jeffkubiak7636]

@@carsandwhatnotsenior4279 Yup they are still having parts issues... Bowling Green is shutting down for the week again. This is the second parts shutdown in last 2 months.

I may buy a lookalike low profile spoiler from Extreme Store online. Was just wondering if you notice any interference from the spoiler while using the trunk 🤔 ? Your Vette looks awesome with that color combination 👍😎

I love the look of the spoiler, good choice. I noticed your Z51 badges, where did you get them ?

[@carsandwhatnotsenior4279]

Decals from zic motorsports and ebay. The spoiler does look good.

[@trt2344]

I really like that C8 rear deck spoiler. Where did you purchase it?

[@carsandwhatnotsenior4279]

Purchased at Chevy dealer. GM part number 45B01. It does look nice on the car. Just enough for me.

[@jaxjax5322]

Love that low spoiler better then the higher ones can you pass me the number part ?

[@carsandwhatnotsenior4279]

Sorry for the delay. GM part#45B01 Ordered thru the Chevrolet dealer. I think it looks great

[@jamestorraco8421]

Did you use the sealer again the second time around or no sealer and just double back tape ?

[@carsandwhatnotsenior4279]

No, I resealed again after I cleaned the old stuff out of the channels

[@kennethmurphy4802]

It looks great. I probably would have made the same mistakes you did.

[@carsandwhatnotsenior4279]

I doubt it. But thanks for saying that. Made me feel a little better. LOL

[@edmorse8654]

How Are you liking the spoiler since you put it on and any accumulation of dirt underneath the spoiler. What kind of racing stripes do you recommend?

[@carsandwhatnotsenior4279]

you know Ed, I really like the spoiler. Sort of hides without actually hiding the 3rd brake light. It's not a in your face type of spoiler but more subtle type. Don't notice any excessive dirt accumulation underneath. Racing stripes , hmmm, I would say whatever you like but I don't like the ones that go all the way down the front and back of the car. Crossing over the back Corvette letters--not a fan. How are you enjoying your car? Gary
