Installed 4 Post Pedestal Spoiler on my Convertible
This is where I got it
PAINTED FORD MUSTANG 4 PEDESTAL FACTORY STYLE SPOILER 2010-2011

It comes with an enormous clear plastic template that shows you where to line everything up on the trunk and holes. The only hard part was finding the correct drill bit sizes. I kept on having to increase my drill bit sizes until the screw went all the way through. The screws are built into the spoiler posts, so all you have to do is just secure the nuts inside the trunk. I really should have taken more pictures of the install, but it's pretty straight forward and I was preoccupied with other stuff.
One thing you do have to do if you want to secure all 8 nuts is to drill larger holes on the underside of the trunk for 4 of the screws because parts of the trunk's underside has another layer of sheet metal. Just make the holes big enough for a small socket to fit in.
The spoiler also comes with 3m double sided thick pads for each post which is good, because that means I don't have to worry about rust as there is no way water is going to get into the holes.
I'll try to get some better pictures next time with the top down and such. The rear of the posts is pretty much completely flush with the trunk (measure 100x and drill once) but the front of the posts sits off the trunk a tiny bit. The sticky double sided padding might of been too thick and I didn't want to torque the nuts too much.

I'm doing that. You just made up my mind. I'm doing it. Looks F***ing AWESOME! Good job dude. I have a white mustang and I have seen pictures of them with black spoilers and they look SICK. So I think I'm gonna do that. This is exactly what you got right? I think it's from the same eBay store
