Default Need help installing factory spoiler (pics)

I recieved a factory painted spoiler today (thanks, you know who you are) and Id like to install it.

1st which points do I mount TO? I see 2 of them , but the other two I am confused about. (see attached)

2nd- is it just me or are the factory holes WAY to small for the hardware to fit through. (see attached)

If you have installed this already, could you help me? I wanted to get it on tonight if possible.

Thanks
Scott

Looks like I need a templet. But my question is...... do any of the holes underneath line up with the spoiler holes? If so, i can just drill from the bottom UP! (wouldnt you think?)

The two bigger outer holes are where the screws will go the other two holes are for just locating plins which you will have to locate and drill from the outside.

I understand......... but do you think I can approach this from underneath?

http://www.courtesyparts.com/instruc...RRSPL_pg4.html see the bottom left picture. Those large oversized holes are clearance for a sockwrench to tighten teh bolt. Wonder if i could just stick my drill bit centered in that hole and pray?

You will be pretty close, maybe even better than the installers in Jacksonville that installed mine at the port, the right side hole was a hair back and the back of the spoiler wasn't even sitting on the hatch.

Just keep in mind that the surface of the outer skin is not parallel with the inner shell so you will have to be careful or you will be too far back if you try to go perpendicular to the inner shell.

It is not going to be easy without a template.
