Default HELP ... Spoiler Installation!!

Hi all - I bought a take-off wing-type spoiler but it's missing the 4 bolts!!! [:@][:@][:@] The spoiler on the left is my original that I just took off, and it has the bolts built-in .. but the one I bought, on the right, doesn't!! [:@] Grrrrrr ... does anyone know what size bolt I need that would fit??

UPDATE: n/m I'm dumb ... I brought the nut to Home Depot and figured out what I needed (four 6mm bolts, 30mm deep). I'm also selling my virtually new Ford OEM 2007 V6 spoiler, taken off my new car with only 44 miles on it, for $120 (UPS Ground shipping included). PM me if interested!

BTW the original wasn't hard to take off at all - especially in -5 degree F weather (the one positive thing about this so far)

The bolts screw up into the wing. I don't remember the size but just go up to the hardware store and buy a few different sizes to try.

i would hate doing it, but i'd take the new wing
to the hardware store, to make sure i got the
right size bolts, with the correct thread pattern....

Boy , they didn't use any tape on your old one! What color and kind is it? V6?

Try this, thread one nut on your old spoiler bold as far down as you can get it. Thread ANOTHER nut right behind it. Use two open end wrenches and make sure they are tight together. Finally, using one wrench on the bottom nut, turn it counter clock wise to see if the stud will back out. Installation to the other wing is the reverse!

My old spoiler is the Ford OEM 2007 V6 model, in Alloy Metallic Grey (G5) - like the picture below ... anyone want to buy it for $120 ?? It's virtually brand-new, no scratches, taken off my new car (with 44 miles on it):
