Help with spoiler
I just got a spoiler from ebay. got a steal @ $115 and it's already painted my color. Here is the wing http://www.americanmuscle.com/cldecodusp2.html
What type of double sided tape would you suggest? Anyone know where I can find the template for it? The two side pieces already have studes in them. Just want to drill in right spots.
Next I got a quote from a shop to patch the two existing wing holes and sirius radio holes. They said they will paint the whole decklid for $225 is that too much?
Plan to shave trunk keyhole as well. So I am sure that will cost a little more!

The spoiler should come with all that for $125.
3M VHB Emblem Tape and the 3M 4298 Adhesion Promoter is essential.
$225 is a steal for patching holes 5-6 unless they use BONDO.
Correct way is to weld them up and thats a tricky process
worth a whole lot more than $225.
Beware as you get what you pay for.
Ask to see some of their prior patching hole jobs
to inspect the work from both sides of the panel.
Improper sheet metal welding produces excessive
heat that produces distortion...
Get em to do the AM/FM - Mars radio reception -
overpass whacking - antenna as well.

He does a good job I am sure. I always see a lot of older cars out there. With fresh paint jobs. He owns a 95 GT which he went all out on and it looks great.

use a piece of cardboard to make a template in the exact size of the spoiler piece and just push the studs through that. then you can "mount" the wing to the car to get everything perfectly aligned.

I was thinking paper after I made the post. Cardboard sounds much better. After talking to them today going to let body shop handle that
That way he can paint decklid then put on wing.

Actually went to shop today. $850 to shave decklid, shave atenna, paint louvers, paint hood, and install all the body parts.
What is a good winshield atenna? Cervini or AM cowl hood? Which is better?
