Need help with 3 Piece spoiler

I just got my new 3-Piece spoiler in the mail yesterday. It did not come with any instructions. What is the easiest way to install one of these? Is there a web site that I can go to and get instructions? I just don't want to mess up and screw holes through the body of my car if they are not perfectly aligned. Should I use some 3M double sided tape along with the bolts just to make sure it won't come off? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

easiest is make a template on paper lay that on the car then drill, I wouldn't use any double sided tape since moisture will get under there and cause rust, just use some silicone around the holes.

I am assuming you are talkin about the RS style spoiler? If so I would just use the 3M tape. I used it on mine and they held just fine. If you put the pieces on there with the proper prep, you shouldn't get areas that don't stick down. This way you can always take them back off some day should you decide to go with something else on your car. With the holes looks like weldin on the fenders, (proper way to fix the holes) filler, paint. Or just a little goo gone and you are all set to go. Which would you rather go with??

Also- the little pieces are the only areas that have a chance of rusting since the rear fenders/hood are the only metal on the car.

Is 3M tape strong enough to hold the spoiler by itself? Must be some good tape.

Yeah 3M kicks ***!! Just be carefull where you place it. Once it's on there,... it's on there! I use it for all my decals on the outside of my car.
