I am in the same boat....quite interested to see if I can extend and add the N spoiler.

I can do some measurements of the width, thickness of where the lip would slip over it, etc,

All we then need is someone with a pure factory do the same measurements or have AJ from CarbonSignal confirm/measure the size of the insert area if he is up to it ?

For those who didn't drill and just used additional tape, can you please advise which specific tape you used in addition to the one that comes with the spoiler?

I am receiving my spoiler on Monday and don't want to drill.

Thanks!

I just used the double sided that comes with the wing, and then went to Home Depot and got a roll of 3M double sided w a pretty strong hold for up to 10lbs or something like that, and then I slapped that on to it near the edges, because the corners sometimes come up a little bit!

Good luck

Just placed my order for one of these
This will complete my aero package on my Z. Pretty excited seeing that it's only $140 shipped. I don't want to drill holes either so, extra 3M tape it is haha

Here is my update on the install.

Fit and finish is flawless and in my opinion can't tell the difference from the OEM.

I had this installed by my fav custom shop. used the provided 3M double sided tape and the four (4) screws.

I see no lifting on the tips or any gaps anywhere.

Paint match is just perfect. Gloss coat is looking good.

Will do another update a year from now to see how she hold sup.
