Default Installed my spoiler from the SPP groupbuy, I don't even know what kind of spoiler it is but ....

here goes. I had posted previously that I would under no circumstances drill holes on my trunk. I tried the 3M moulding tape TWICE and it failed. Now I'm biting my lip. So I went ahead and DRILLED. Not for the faint of heart, but all in all, a worthwhile experience. Toughest part was the two screws on the ends of the spoiler, there is NO room to work with. Here are some pics.

Also I used thicker weatherstripping than what was provided. I bought it at Lowes. Also used rubber washers on both sides and Marine Goop glue to keep screws from vibrating loose.

Default That spoiler is much smaller and is probably properly contoured on the bottom

to to fit well on the trunk's edge. These spoilers from SPP were not like that.

Default you should have just went with the Votex spoiler....now...(m)..

if you ever decide you don't want it, you have three pretty holes in your trunk.

Default My Abt spoiler was adhered with that nuclear strength black glue.

Looks great, good job.
