the high rse spoiler I bought was on a cobalt SS before and it has 4 bolts each side, while my stock low rise has 2 each side. I didnt try to bolt it on yet (its freezing outside) but Im wondering if anyone else had this problem and will it be ok if I only bolt 2 of the 4 each side? I really dont want to drill holes in my car.

pics, never heard of it

 

Mine only had 2 on each side

Wow thats a first. unless the ion highrise is different.

 

do the 2 on each side even line up? is it the outter 2 or inner 2? and how fast do you expect to drive your car after bolting it on?

 

I am thinking that may be an aftermarket spoiler. When I had my lowrise taken off, the bottom of the support towers were painted, and the fact that it has 4 bolts on each side instead of 2. Just my thinking. I don't know for sure.

Also, when you try to bolt it up, won't the studs you don't use just sit on the trunk lid as they don't have holes to fit in to?

 

thats deff. aftermarket, the feet are narrower on that one. I had a low rise on my SS and swapped it for a highrise and also got my G/F a highrise, and they both bolted up to each car with 2 studs on each side.

Yes as well, the studs will interfere as theres nothing to fall into

best thing to do here is either..

A) try to sell it to some shmuck and get a real highrise
B) IF two sets of holes DO line up, dremel/chop/Grind off the other studs so it sits flush, two bolts should be MORE than enough to hold that, its not a 5FT aluminum plane wing or anything

DO NO drill into your decklid... leave that to the pro's, you'll most likely end up with a rusty mess in a few years.

 

Maybe it's a knock off

 

I need someone with a SS 06 to confirm about the 4 bolts each side. It was definitely on a 06 SS before, ive seen it with my own eyes.

 

dude everyone's telling you thats NOT a legit SS spoiler. Maybe the previous owner drilled holes

check this thread out

that owner put an SS spoiler on his cruze, scroll down and look at the holes drilled in his trunk, I dont see 4 on each side... I see 2

I also HAD an '06 SS.. and it didn't have 4 holes in the decklid...

 

I have an o6 ss. And removed my hi rise off my o6 trunk when someone dented it to mount it on an o9 trunk with low rise. It was bolt on. 2 studs each side. Urs was aftermarket ... Maybe the car was in an accident and they ordered an aftermarket wing?

 

Also... Gm paints their parts completely... And that isn't painted at the bottom, correct me if I am wrong cuz if it was the double sided tape it would be black...

 

why does this shiit always happen to me. I measured the bolt distance compared to the holes in my trunk and the inner ones looks like they willl fit. I just need to find a good double sided adhesive...

 

Yeah that is not a real high rise. I have 07 G5 and i switched my low rise with a 06 high rise there is just 2 screws on each side and a thick pad of double side tape.

 

well, if its a knockoff, its a good one, here are some pics.. looks exactly like the real one. and it looks like it was attached to the old SS just fine.

 

So its a one-piece?? No side caps??

 

not sure I understand what you mean, I cant separate anything of the spoiler, no

 

the blade (middle piece) comes off the 2 side pieces when its a gm

 

well you can tell its a knockoff right off the bat. Those side caps are !@#$@ huge!!!

but like I said.. if two bolts on each side line up.. just gind down the other bolts flat

 

the inside holes line up with my trunk, I just measured them. Im gonna go ahead and bolt these on. I need good adhesive between the spoiler and my car, any ideas what I should use?

 

sidecaps are different,

 

2 sided tape? Walmart has them. Wait u do have walmart in canada right?

 

yeah we do lol, how did you guys do to attach your high rise to your car, will only adhesive tape work?
