Default Properly mounting OEM style carbon spoiler?

I recently bought an oem style spoiler on carbon. its mounted with double sided 3m tape that has already been applied to the spoiler.

My question is, whats the best way to center the spoiler properly so i get it on straight and exactly where it should go??

Well, since nobody has replied to you, i'll give out my own suggestions. Why not just measure the hatch, and put an equal space on the left and right edges of the hatch and the edges of the spoiler? It shoudlnt see mthat difficult... Maybe you could find a template, but i wouldnt think youd need it if you can measure.

clean the trunk really good, for best adhesion i'd strip the wax off. use masking tape and tape the spoiler to the trunk, adjust it until it is where you want it, you can add tape to the the trunk only as guide marks to be safe. with only the masking tape holding the spoiler exactly where you want it, flip up the spoiler and peel each strip of the spoiler tape just enough so that you have enough of the tape backing to hang out when you put the spoiler back in place(peel about 1 inch). now put the spoiler back into position with the tape backing hanging out. double check the spoiler position, then push down on the spoiler and start pulling the rest of the tape backing off. done.
