Is it possible to order GT500 spoiler painted from the dealership?
probably but don't bother, you'll spend twice as much there as you will on eBay and you have lots of people here including myself that will vouch for the Spoiler Store on eBay.
Does the GT500 spoiler from The Spoiler Store use both sets of mounting bolts on both sides like the oem GT500? Many aftermarket spoiler vendors sell a spoiler that only uses one bolt per side.

Thanks for the help!!
You can use one bolt per side, with the 3M tape and be fine. There are provisions on the spoiler allowing you to use more fasteners. However, to use those would require drilling the decklid.
I opted not to drill, and I'm now approaching the 1 year mark and it's doing just fine. I'm also very picky about the fit and finish of a part.
Thanks for the reply Misbehavin! So what you are saying is that the spoiler from The Spoiler Store does not come with two bolts per side, just one.
No, it comes with two per side, but you only have to use one. Bear in mind that these "bolts" are really studs, and you only thread in what you need. The other spots are optional, and most people choose not to install them. Just for clarification, the two optional holes with this spoiler are out towards the sides of the trunk lid, not directly forward of the factory holes. I wish I had a picture of mine handy, but I don't.
The unused factory holes should be sealed with some silicone sealant to avoid any water finding it's way into the trunk.

I will chime in also. I got mine from the spoiler store and paint match was spot on but the finish left something to be desired. The good thing though was it has plenty of clear coat so you can wet sand w/ 2000 grit and rub it out w/ a 3M polishing material. Yes I'm a little ****, I mean particular. lol As far as the second set of holes I would not drill them, I did and wished I didn't. I didn't hurt anything , but with the set of holes that do line up and the amount of 3M tape that sucker isn't going to go anywhere.
