Get the car up in the air on ramps then use some cinder blocks and plywood or something to scaffold the dam up to the car.
To fasten it I used about 10 of the self tapping wide head phillips screws.
Once you get 3 screws in you can remove the cinder blocks and add more screws.
If you have access to a lift you can use a table instead of cinder blocks.

Here's how I did my $99.00 ebay urethane spoiler I cut and narrowed
after I lost my C5R that broke up and got run over after hitting some debris on the highway at night.
I did the C5R the same way.
You can cut some of the bottom back to get access to the top layer to screw through to the nose if need be as you won't see it.







I had narrowed my C5R and cut the wheelwell pieces off since I didn't like how it stuck out so far.

Here's a C5R pic from underneath.
I had cut it back to make it more open for my SC intercooler.

I also added a bracket to compensate.
