use a diamond bit and cut bolts off, dont drill car, use silicone adhesive or 3m red foam tape.... ZERO reason to bolt it down.

ZERO>

Dam , good idea. I have an extra stock spoiler laying around. I may just mount it on my other Z that way.

Glad to see this is helping out, I am sure I could have just used 3M double sided tape with 3M adhesion promoter, though glad I didn't.

This is how i cut it

This is how i did it the first time, and it seemed as if it was a little too short, i just connected it and overlapped the gap on top of each other

Or am i supposed to do it like this? cut it like i did and connect it to this little line?

The template is huge & was scanned in 2 pieces, just make the 2 parts touch (or connect pieces & eliminate the gap) and you have the template, easy enuFF. I think I still have the original template around someplace.

tellin ya, zero reason to drill your car..

as a guy who has paid to have holes welded once already, you'll never catch me driling holes for a wing again, especially that has zero effect on downforce.. tit purely aesthetic ( or may cut turbulence behind the car er something, dunno...) its cool you got a template, nice job ppl w helping out for sure.....but you just dont need to do that man.. I wouldnt say it so emphaticaly if i wasnt trying to save you several hours and the possibility of damaging your car.

daimond bit on a dremel and 10 minutes and those posts are toast.. surface prep car...then hold it to the car where you want it to sit, mark the edges w blue painter tape.. peel back your 3m tape and re align... add pressure, sit it in the sun, DONE.

Wana get rid of it?

Heat it up, pull it off, spray wd40, clean, maybe buff a little...
voila.. back to OEM. Sell wing for same price you paid.
