Default Finally ordered Roush spoiler

So today I pulled the trigger and ordered a Roush spoiler from AM! Cant wait to get it i'm planning on a shop to paint it but as far as installing it i'm debating on having the shop do it or doing it my self. Is this install hard to do? Anything I should know that wasn't on the instructions any feedback is greatly appreciated..

It looks like you already have the GT spoiler installed. If this spoiler uses the factory holes (which it probably does) then it's super easy. Unbolt the one you have now and bolt down the new on in place. Next step, have a beer.

what about the parts that arent on the trunk lid? i feel like that would be the hardest part and would make me want a shop to do it.

Those are easy also. Just make a paper template, transfer over to the car body, line it up and drill baby drill!

I know I never wanted to drill a hole in my car but damn I always wanted a Roush spoiler and now that's its on its way I got to suck it up and do it!!!
I found a instruction guide on Roush's website so now ill just study it so once I get it painted I could knock it out..

Its not that bad to do,just make sure you have the template on right,center punch the were you drill and you will have no problems,also make sure after you drill the holes put some touch up paint on bear metal and some sort of anti rust stuff.
