deflector kit # 84624552Do you happen to have the parts numbers for the underside aero pieces you talk about. Are these the brake cooling parts? I have CCBs. Thanks.

Thanks!deflector kit # 84624552
Thank you, very helpful.Here are some photos I have on hand in the meantime, for some reference. This is with the CF.
Appreciate the walkthrough, I will likely do this in the future. But I just PPFed the entire car including the existing splitter, so I will probably leave it as a future upgradeLower no, further out yes. And don’t forget to order the aero pieces for underneath. For the lip you have to take off the 3 plastic covers under the car. It’s a torque bit, but I believe it was a t15. And remove the 5 10mm bolts for all 3 pieces to come out. And there is about 20 or so torque screws to remove underneath. And the top part of the splitter is plastic clips. There’s going to be 4 clips that you’re not gonna be able to put back in, but you could put them in upside down instead of the way that you took them out. no way to put them back in without totally disassembling the underneath. there clip in so don’t worry they won’t fall out. Total time of installation 1.5 hours. Just need a lift, makes it so much easier!
That is really interesting. Maybe some folks could save some money doing their own hardware.Hi all,
Just bought a used 22 CT5 BW and the dealer had added the CF 1&2. The rear spoiler was backordered and they finally got it and shipped it to me. Just opened it up and there is no template or hardware for it. The part # on it is 85517784. Shows up on a google search as the spoiler for the CT5 but it only costs about $2100 versus the ~$3.2K for part# 85561511 that is listed on the first post.
Anyone know anything about this other part #? Are they really charging over $1000 for the hardware and template? I'm not sure what to do now without the hardware and template. My guess is that this part# is for a replacement spoiler (after a collision?) for a car that came with the Carbon 1 package. Then the holes are already there and you would reuse the hardware.
The dealer won't do anything since I am in Wisconsin and the dealer is in Pennsylvania. Does anyone still have the template and a really good description of the hardware that is included? Would really appreciate it.
Thanks,
George
Does your BW5 have any kind of spoiler on it ?? If so, the holes may already be there so no need for the template.Hi all,

I called GMPartsGiant about the 85517784 and the status is discontinued with no new part number. It may be possible to find that part at a dealer by calling around, but seems like a long shot.We actually just went over the "hole" thing. I was mistaken thinking all the holes were there when really the 2 outer need to be drilled for the cf spoiler.
As far as the cheaper spoiler goes, I looked it up quick and the regular price is like 3200, but now it's on sale on most gm sites for 2100ish.
I bought the current available expensive CF rear spoiler kit. I got a special one time buyer price deal, so I paid a lot less than $3200 and sorry, it can't be repeated. On the back side of the spoiler, it does have part # 85561511, the kit I purchased. Does yours show part # 85517784?You have to drill the 2 outer holes for the Carbon spoiler. They do not exist unless your car had the Carbon 1 package. I removed the stock one, which is just taped on, and put the new carbon one on using the 5 existing holes to "align" it on the trunk. I then put tape under the 2 bolts needing holes and marked the tape. Set aside the spoiler, center punched it and drilled the holes. Started small and drilled 3 or 4 times up to a 5/16" bit. Spoiler fits great!
Now need to get some info on the hardware and paint the hole edges before it gets installed for good. No hurry since the weather here is crap for awhile.

Thank you sir for the instructions! Only thing left out of them after reading is to vacuum out the metal shavings! If left inside rattling around, they can start rusting and causing a possible rust from the inside out situation!I called GMPartsGiant about the 85517784 and the status is discontinued with no new part number.

Attached are they spoiler installation instructions. The two outer holes are 15mm. Did some digging and I believe, but not 100% sure, the two outer retainers are PN 84448584 and the four nuts are PN 11549262.
Mind sharing pictures of part#85517784. My dealer sent me that number when I inquired about CF parts, but I sent him the one that was confirmed here. (Dealer/Service sucks so badly, I am at a crossroads at what to do. They have been falling well short in helping me obtain CF, wheels, tires. They ignore me, it's terrible customer service/relationship, they don't care. #sadstory)Hi all,

Call another dealer. I was told the 784 part number is discontinued.Mind sharing pictures of part#85517784.
