I know install would be easy, but something about drilling into my car just makes me feel all funny inside!

Ya I would rather it be me, but just the though if it gives me chills.

Its just that the though of putting a metal drill bit to my hatch disturbs me! Sure I would leave it on when I sold it, in the end I will do it myself b/c I do not trust anyone with my car, but drilling a hole is just so...... permenant! I will probably measure 109238019823012938 times be4 I drill

This is the second time i'm posting this reply, Why dont you guys use 3M double sided tape? It holds my blitz wing securely to my trunk with no problems, so it should be perfect for the stock wing.

well i have a replica nismo spoiler...are u sure double-sided tape would work well? cuz if i dont have to drill holes then i dont want to....but i wanna make sure the wing sits flush and flat on the hatch...and also wouldnt wear and tear such as the weather mess with the tape?

I already have a stock spoiler, I will be going for something bigger once I make my mind up. I just wouldnt feel comfortable with just tape, I am sure it works great but I am OCD.

Double sided tape wont work with big wings, heavy wings, or wings that have severe downforce. They work for small wings like blitz, stock, data systems, etc.

i disagree with Santini being a good body shop. The clear coat on my car peeled off. The paint job was sub standard in my opinion. I would stay away from that guy!
