It's not that hard to install,what took so much time was checking and double checking, and then checking one more time before you drill the holes! Just make sure you put tape on the body were you will be drilling the holes.

the holes that will be drilled will be for the side fins right?
the center piece of the spoiler uses the existing holes? or new ones need to be drilled there also? and im guessing the product comes with templates

There is two holes that have to be drilled in the center piece has well.Does come with a template! Just take your time and double check before you drill, a center punch comes in handy has well

When I installed mine I found I had to adjust the template to the trunk to align the two existing holes with the template. When I put the template where it was suppose to be, the holes that were there from the previous GT spoiler didn't quite line up. Now, on the side pieces, be careful and don't read anything into it. Place it as it instructs you too. There is a line on the template that has to line up with the existing fender line to make it flow right. The side piece templates appeared to be right on. Then when you mount it there are two things you have to watch for. The tops of the center section and side pieces to make sure they match and the space between these two should be consistent from front to back and match on both sides. Do your adjusting and snug in case you have to change when comparing the two side pieces and then do your tightening.

I was leaning on buying that spoiler as well hey charliebrown266 can you post a pic from the rear I also have an alloy and want to see how it looks unless you have a roush rear bumper. Oh and did you get it painted yourself or did you you buy prepainted??

I installed my spoiler without any issues, however i experienced a slight issue with the template, it did seem to not line up exact. I ended up having to cut it in the middle to have both side lines line up with my trunk. This is by far the best spoiler out there.

If you buy prepainted, make sure to doublecheck your paint code...I ordered a screamin yellow one by accident and its been sitting in my living room ever since...Expensive mistake, on my part!
