Here is a link to the installation instructions, but as ares said, it requires a paper template. Just use these to get an idea of where it should go.

http://www.courtesyparts.com/instruc...RRSPL_pg1.html

In your case, I would get a roll of the blue 3M painters tape, then use that to mark a guideline for where I want the spoiler to line up. Then I would take the spoiler with the double sided tape on it and carefully allign it with the blue tape and hope it goes on straight.

Make sure you use a wax remover on the area that you will be taping, then let the double sided tape cure for a couple of days before you let the vehicle get wet. (rain, car wash....etc.)

If a wing slams into my windshield some day.........I will know there is a reason they come bolted on from the factory........lol

Good luck with the install!

itll be fine with just tape...trial and error is the best method

however it will never be PERFECTLY down on the car unless you get it drilled

Do you guys have any recommendations for body shops near the Irvine area where I can get a rear spoiler installed? Also, are the templates of both the oem spoiler and the one from spoilerdepot.com identical? In other words, are there more holes to be drilled for either spoiler?

If you have the OEM spoiler, then all you need to do is remove the finisher on the hatch and there are 2 holes where the outer holes on the spoiler line up. If you drill your hole in the center of those holes the spoiler will line up perfectly.

I know it's a bit nerve racking, but I did it myself with no problems. There are others in this forum that have used this method as well.
