Paint match looks damn close.Hey,OEM parts(mud guards etc)don't match exactly.

Not a fan of your tailights,though.

not to sound like one of those guys but it's pretty easy brotha. The wing should have came with 2 cardboard strips that you place the bolt holes over so you know where to drill. Next you clean the area and set it where it seems level and looks good to you. Then take it down securely and drill our your holes out. I don't remember the bit size but you can match up with the bolt size. Make sure you take off the carpet under the hood and drill SLOW!!! You don't want to crack anything. If possible get a long bit. It'll help you out trust me. Best of luck mate let me know how it turns out or if I can be of any further assistance.

Well you were right, I had no problem mounting the wing. I guess I didn't need the pictures after all.
