I am liking it

Few issues though
Only 2 of the holes lined up :( modified to get it to work
Paint is ok has some marks/swirls tried. Y hand to remove
Honestly 9/10 people would never notice. Kinda drives me crazy we will see how it is in the sun.

7/10 due to the fit and finish

No I didn't drill the rear deck. I used a sheet metal screw to go into the bottom of the rear spoiler. It had a pretty good bite. I also laid down some 3m tape on the trunk lid before installing for some extra hold

As far as the light certain angles it is visible. If you have a super low car I am not sure. If you tailgate super close to it may be hard to see? Definitely a higher vehicle (truck/SUV) can see it. I think it will be fine

Did you have to use 3M tape or will it be fine without?

I was hoping for a factory fit with just the five bolts.

Are the factory studs in place on the new spoiler?

I've had one of DAR's Z28 inspired spoilers (but never actually completely installed it. opted for something else in the end.) and can tell you that 3M tape is not needed. It is supposed to line up with the factory holes, but that's not the case. The spoiler has the 6 studs pre-fitted into the spoiler, but when you go to line it up on your trunk, you'll notice that most of them will be off by a little bit.

What pretty much everyone does is widen the factory holes a little in whichever direction is needed to get the spoiler to fit correctly. Once you have the spoiler fitted and centered on your trunk, you tighten it down with the included nuts (can't remember if they included washers too). No 3M tape necessary. They do include some single sided foam tape/gasket for cushion/weather-sealing though.

EDIT: Sorry guys, not studs with nuts.. Threaded inserts with screws. Ryan refreshed my memory haha.

Do you have a fiberglass or abs version? Mine did not have studs there are threaded inserts (4). With the convertible not all the holes are used

I don't think you need to use 3M tape it was just an added security measure imo

Oops, you're right. Now that I think harder about it, they were threaded inserts. My bad. But yeah, the 3M tape still wasn't required but is a good additional security measure as you stated.

Also, I had the fiberglass version of the spoiler. I believe they went from 6 down to 4 mounting points on their ABS version of the spoiler, so you might wanna double check and make sure they actually gave you a fiberglass one. Mine had "FG 618" carved onto the underside of the spoiler which is the model number for their fiberglass version. Do you remember seeing anything like that on yours?

The Original ACS Z/28 Spoiler for the 10-13 Camaro does have the provision for the Convertible Antenna.

Replica's are a cost effective solution, but not manufactured in RTM composite.

Please post more pictures. Would like to see side profile, from the rear, and what it looks like in all those positions with the top down.

Thanks!
