Default STEEDA AERO SPOILER?

Whats up.. I just bought the steeda wing for my car, and i didn't come with any instructions or hardware. So, it has a totaly different mounting system than the normal gt or saleen wing. i was just wondering if any one new how to mount this thing? I put the screws in it and put grease on the head of the bolt to find out where to mount it, but when you look underneath the hatch it dosen't look like it can be done.
BTW.. I already called and asked 50resto, and they said they didn't have a clue and i was like [sm=smiley35.gif].. I can post pictures if needed later. I'm just at work right now.

they are made for lx hatches not gt's. i am probably one of the few people who have put one of these on a gt so your in luck. your on the right track with the grease to mark the holes. but you need to bust out the drimmle to cut away some of that extra metal under the hatch enough so that you can get a socket in here an idealy get a good look cause it's a pain to line up all six bolts especially when you made the holes yourself with grease markings. once you marked it with the grease get a drill and drill all six holes through the entire hatch (be careful of wires) this will show were the metal uder the hatch should be trimed away . make the ones closes to back of the car a nice clean cut because the plastic trim piece will not cover these the lx's have plastic covers over these holes. i'll try to get some pics of mine up after work but might be tough with the god dang daylight savings. by the way after i slapped mine on it looked like crap with my gt bumper so i shelled out 300$ for a cobra one it looks alot better the gt bumper is too big for this wing.let me know if i was any help it's kind of a pain. you would think that since it is 300$ the thing would just bolt right up. also how do you fell about the two screw holes on top kinda janky inmo i will probably fill them before i paint the wing.
