it's fairly straightforward - be certain to:

1. remove all the adhesive from the stock spoiler
2. plug the extra two holes, using silicone to ensure they don't leak
3. carefully line up the new gt500 spoiler before fully removing the tape lining

all said and done, it's pretty simple - good luck!

use lots of adhesive remover (I used Goo Gone) and keep adding more, use fishing line, while you're sawing with the line pull up and away friom the body, and above all, BE PATIENT. take your time to slowly cut your way through the tape. i did mine in the hot sun or use a hairdryer to soften the tape.

set new spoiler on car with adhesive backing still on. once you got it right where you want it, remove backing a little at a time while someone helps keep the spolier in place.

good luck.

what are you planning on doing with the stock spoiler? PM me if you are looking to sell it.

Congrats...you should have no problems with the install. The most challenging part will be removing the old 3M tape.

Definitely recommend Goo Gone. I was rubbing on a small section off the tape w/ soap and water for 20 minutes w/o much of a difference and got sick of it and said F**** this! Went to Home Depot, sprayed the both spot, let it sit for 5 minutes and had both sides done 10 minutes later w/o any harm to the paint. Just make sure you are getting the stuff that is orange and oily in a pump bottle b/c people often confuse it w/ Goof Off which is in an pressurized can and is likely to damage your paint.
