And it feels good to do something so drastic (like putting irreversible damage into your trunk lid) and have it come out looking awesome!

thanks for the feedback guys, any where can i pick up some of this high quality 3M doubled-sided tape? i might just 3M the spoiler on so i have it fitted perfectly and screw it down for a tight permanent hold...

You can get the tape at autozone, just line the perimiter with tape but leave a small (a couple mm) space on the back side so if water does get under the wing it can escape.

I just use velcro, that way I can take the wing off when I want to be serious.
