Default Caravaggio spoiler install ??

I have my spoiler coming in one of these days. I was just curious about the install. I would like it bolted down so it doesn't fly off at the track. Do they come bolt ready or do you have to drill the spoiler? How does it thread on securely? Anyone who has theirs bolted down, some "how to's" would be great!! Thanks.

They are installed with double sided tape. It is not going anywhere if done properly.

I drove a C5 with that spoiler for 4 years and over 1000 miles on high speed (160+) tracks with no problems at all

DON'T BOLT IT ON Actually you can't bolt it on.

My Caravaggio was made to be taped down. Didn't know you could bolt it. Make sure you test fit it before painting. Mine didn't line up quite right.

I didn't want to bolt it down ! Just wanted to make sure it was safe with the tape. I'll go the tape route! Thanks.
I ordered it directly thru Caravaggio. I think $548.
