GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

I have found the spoiler and all of its parts and screws for around $150 on a GM part website. My question is how woudl I go about adding the GT spoiler to my 09 Base? I see I have to screw it on or attach it somehow.. do I have to take my current "spoiler" off?

Any advice or insight would help greatly.

Thanks!

If he doesn't respond here, get in touch with Kincaid. He has the GT spoiler on his 2009 Liquid Platinum Metallic 2.4L Base.

My Vibe is an '09 Base and I had the dealer put one on (see below). Took them about a half-hour - no drilling required. Your present spoiler is first removed.

Thanks for the responses!!

Houston - do you mind telling me around how much it cost you for them to put it on.. (assuming they ordered the Spoiler for you?) if you don't mind.

Thanks

That spoiler would be a MUST for me if i owned a 09-10.
They look too good

Yes they look great, especially on his blue 09 Base. However, looking at the pictures, I am not sure if I am willing/ready to spend ~$200+ just to add a couple more inches to the "spoiler/extension piece" that already comes on the base. I think it would look really cool though if I could install the GT spoiler and paint it black, it would really compliment my black and silver color scheme I have going on. Heck, I am always painting parts of my car so I think I am going to photoshop what my current spoiler would look like if it were black.

there ya go

I just checked the receipt and the total dealer cost for the spoiler, painting and installation was $361. They removed the original and put on the new one so quickly that I'm sure I could have done it myself. Fact is, I kicked myself for not doing it and saving a few bucks. You keep the original spoiler, of course.

Same here. To me, the Base rear ends look too plain...

I bought the GT spoiler online - can't remember who from but it came painted and I think it was about $200. I see that gmparts4u.com has it for $213 now and that might be pretty close to what it was three years ago. The dealership charged $90 to install it.

Someone had a thread on here that may have even had pics - I think you remove the trim piece from inside, exposing bolts and then from there it is simple R & I and then button it up. However, I was nervous about doing it myself. What was the deal with some of the factor installs - wasn't there some rubbing and paint that was removed by the spoiler? I can't remember exactly now, but I did check my car and it wasn't doing it, but others had some paint wearing thin from vibrations, etc of the spoiler.

Well I did a search for "spoiler" in the thread title and did turn up a few things about how easy it was, but no pictures or detailed description of how it was done. A few people posted that did it themselves, so you could try to send them a message and see if they respond. Unfortunately, I think some of the pics didn't make it over because of the recent forum conversion.
