SS Spoiler
I have a 2LT HHR however i found a SS Spoiler For $275 Bucks Painted. Is this a Decent deal and how hard are they to install? I hate the "loop" Spoiler that is also a option. For some reason the loop is more Money aftermarket, yet cheaper from the Factory

Yes Jason that is a decent deal. I have over that amount in mine and I did all the work.
I had to make my own templet for locating the 5 holes that need to be drilled.
If I was to do it again, I would not drill the 3 middle holes for the plastic locking tabs that are mounted on the spoiler. (I would cut them off) I would just drill 2 holes for the 2 outside threaded studs. I would not be comfortable using just 2-sided tape to mount it. Just my personal preference.
Also the spoiler comes with 2-sided foam tape mounted to it.
If yours was mounted on another car before, it is likely that the tape is damaged and would have have to be replaced before you mount the spoiler. The tape kit is available from chevy for $25.00.
If you are handy with tools, etc. you could do the install.
Otherwise, I would have a body shop install it.
Good luck and let me know if you need more info?

Well I ordered It!!! $275 Painted From the Dealer Plus $75 to install.Dealer didn't mention anything about no Template or anything like that so.. let them figure it out. I'm sure by now the Dealers have atleast a "Custom" one..Can't wait to see it installed. That Rear-End well look hella better!! 
FYI Go to GMGoodWrench if you want One. Just give the Part Number to your Dealer.
