Thank you so much! I will attempt to install tonight and provide pictures... is there any sort of measurement I should use from the top of the third brake light to get a good gauge of the best location for mounting? Also what type and size drill bit did you use and would you suggest using some type of felt material between the Spoiler and bill? Sorry for all the questions... just a little nervous about drilling holes into the painted spoiler.

I actually went a touch bigger then 1/2. Once it's on, you will see.

It's really where you think it looks best.

The hole you drill should be the exact size as the shaft of that rubber grommet. Once you slide the rubber in the larger circle part acts as a barrier be ween the bill and the spoiler. So no felt is needed.

This may be a stupid question, but won't these run the risk of being torn off under high speeds? They screw into rubber grommets?

From the way it felt and looks, as you tighten down the screws, the washers compress making them alot bigger in the hole. I pulled pretty damn hard after install and it wouldn't even move.

Yes. That is exactly happens.

Just an update on the way this spoiler held up... This weekend I had the car over 150 and the spoiler held up just fine. Also sustain some speeds for small durations of 120-130 and still good to go.
