Default this one really is just a search away - lots of people here have done it >

including some who've bought crappy installs done with drywall screws; really - do a search.

Very nice... so you just had it painted, stuck it on with window adhesive and a couple screws right?

Default I just installed it past weekend. I can almost guarantee that your spoiler will come with expired

adhesive so you'll have to source one out ahead of time. Its a b$tch and a half to get the spoiler to adhere properly to the car in places where adhesive has to do its work. You'll have to either use a very quick adhesive or some sort of a clamp to get it to hold properly. I used 3M window weld and its not quick enough to use without clamps. I ended up using 2x4's to press the spoiler against the garage door in places where pressure was required. It looks amazing once installed and I'm extremely happy with the result. One last step would be to use some touch-up paint and paint over the seams where adhesive had hardened, unless your car is black.

Default Yea, the screws go behind the wheel well. I didn't use window adhesive,

so I'm not quite sure how well that will work. I used epoxy from an auto shop, altho that is starting to come loose. I'll probably reattach it soon and try bonding the plastic of the votex to the plastic of the bumper (instead of the paint on the bumper like I did this time).

Default Mine is silver from the pic you see, I wonder where I can get it painted anyone in LA have good exp?

with a paint shot that can match the silver.

I know silver is the hardest to match... I also have to fix a small rub mark on my rear bumper.
