Instructions For Locating The Mounting Holes
Apply some 2" masking tape at approximate hole locations to protect the paint on your trunk lid while refining measurements.
As shown in the drawing, measure and mark 2 spots 8-3/8" up from the bottom rear edge of the trunk lid.
Measure and mark a line on the tape that is 19" in from the LH & RH edges of the trunk lid and apply a new piece of tape, centered on these 2 lines, straight down to the bottom rear edge of the trunk lid.
On top of the tape, re-measure and mark the lines from the LH & RH edges and from the bottom rear edge of the trunk lid, making sure that they intersect each other. Where the lines cross each other is the preliminary spot for drilling your mounting holes. The distance between the 2 preliminary spots should be approximately 19-5/8".
Check that the measurement between the centers of the bolts on your stock OEM spoiler is 19-5/8".
If there is a difference, adjust the position of the marks for the mounting holes. Verify that the measurement between the 2 preliminary spots are the same as between the centers of the bolts on your stock OEM spoiler. Verify that the measurements from the LH & RH edges are identical. This will guarantee that the spoiler will be centered across the trunk lid. Verify that the measurements from the bottom rear edges of the trunk lid to your preliminary spots are 8-3/8".
You should now have the mounting hole positions located, but....DON'T DRILL THE HOLES YET!
DOUBLE CHECK ALL OF YOUR MEASUREMENTS!

Instructions For Drilling The Mounting Holes
Using a small center punch, punch a small dimple on the 2 hole markings.
Start with a very small drill bit for the pilot hole and use an intermediate size before you drill the holes to their final size. Remove the masking tape from the trunk lid. Fit your spoiler without removing the tape covering from the 3M adhesive tape. Clean the areas where the tape will adhere to the trunk lid using some Rubbing Alcohol.
Reminder: The tape on the edges of the spoiler will adhere best to the trunk lid if both pieces are at least at room temperature.
Remove the tape protective covering and install your spoiler. DO NOT over-tighten !! The nuts just need to be snug.
" Note: My installation only required a very, very slight massaging of the RH hole.
