Thanks for the kind words everyone. I managed to take a couple shots today in the daytime so I thought I would post 'em up.
Drilling into the car is a timely process. If you're like me you'll buy the spoiler with the intention of doing it...only to have it sit in your garage for a few months lol. I'd take it out from time to time and look at it...then contemplate paying for the install. Finally I broke down and did it. If you already have a factory spoiler installed I'd say it's not that bad. If I had bought the car with the spoiler delete option I don't know if I could have drilled 14 fresh holes into an unsoiled trunk. If you're on the fence about getting it I'd say pull the trigger. I'm by no means a car or body guy(I'm slowly becoming one)....hell I even have trouble staying in the lines when I color still
It looks much harder than it is though. Thanks for looking at my work in progress.

Over the summer a body shop in Phoenix, Az was selling them prepainted(your choice of factory color) for $369 shipped on fleabay. They aren't the fiberglass knockoffs, it's a genuine Roush.

that is what i did, just make sure to tape properly and give a day to set on, i can not drill in to my car, which is probably why i have had hood pins for six months and they are still in the package

I don't know about that. I know that automotive 3m tape is strong, but I'd rather have the added security of nuts & bolts. If it was thought that it could be held on securely by just tape, I doubt Roush would have required drilling and such. If you don't know if you're going to keep your stang (FOREVER) or if you don't know if you'll keep the spoiler I wouldn't drill. But if you want to drill and have never attempted to do something like this following the instructions and using my mini walk through will get you through it. If I can do it anyone can.

I think Roush should have made provisions for two more holes on the quarter panels. 
We wouldn't want to lose those heavy .1/8 pounder corner pieces now, would we?
Anyway, congrats Topless.
Clean job none the less.
