#3 on my to-do list is both front and rear spoilers on our '78 SA.

IMHO, better looking and more stable at speed w/both PC spoiler and dam. ...form following function.

You have to drill 4 holes if I remember correctly. I ordered mine from Ecklers and it has template or measuring instructions. I put masking tape over the paint, marked my holes, held my breath and drilled. It is definitely worth it and you'll be glad you did it. You know the saying "measure twice and cut (drill) once." It was a very easy upgrade
I put a 77-78 PC spoiler on my 76:
