Factory Style Spoiler Labor Cost?
I am planning on ordering a factory style rear spoiler for my '15 V6. There were two types of spoilers available, 3M tape or screw on. After conducting some research I figured I would go with the screw on because I would feel more assured that it is going to be more secure.
I am a little iffy about drilling the holes in myself, mostly because I am not experienced. Additionally the trunk area isn't flat and the area the spoiler would fit on is kind on an incline. Do you guys think I should still try do it myself and save costs or go to an auto-shop and pay them to fit it on there?
Thanks for everyone's help.

Its not that complicated of a task.
Take a piece of posterboard and trace and press the spoiler and bolts thru it. This will give you a flat template to use.
Line up the template on the trunklid and center it, taping it down good.
Double, triple measure and then measure again.--key is to make sure its absoluetly straight and centered on the car.
next set the spoiler in place on top of the template lining up the bolts with the holes in template making sure it stays lined up where you want it.
Use a punch to put a small dimple in all the holes where you will drill. Using a small drill bit carefully drill a pilot hole in each dimple and them using the smallest bit possible drill a hole the bolts will fit thru.
