Spoiler: Dealer install?
My car came in today, but can't pick her up till tomorrow due to spoiler having to be installed by dealer. Is this the case for everybody that ordered the z51 spoiler option? Or is my car just special.

There should not be. Its part the option's price when ordered with the car. Same goes for items like the Stingray sill plates and Stingray wheel center caps. They should only charge installation if you order these parts later from the parts department.

Msaldiver, delivering dealer makes no difference. If you ordered the spoiler, Stingray sill plates or center caps, or any of the LPO items as an option on the car, installation is part of the purchase price. You should NOT be charged and installation fee.
If you purchase any of those LPO items later over the parts counter, installation is not included, and you either put them on yourself or pay someone to do it.

Hmm, there should have been instructions and a template with the spoiler. There are several mounting holes that need to be drilled in the top of the rear fascia. And the fascia needs to be removed for access to install the nuts on the mounting studs. You might see if you can get a copy from your dealer. Or even have them install it for you. I understand the fascia mounting clips are prone to breaking during removal. If the dealer does it, such things are on their dime.
