Default installation question re: full-width spoiler

The innermost bolts (the ones that also hold the light assembly on) are not long enough to extend through the fascia to thread a nut. Am I missing something obvious here?

If you are refering to the GM 'racing' spoiler, they aren't used. The kit comes with two screws to replace the studs with.

If I recall correctly, the two inner most bolts are too short. However, when I was researching the installation of my spoiler I found out those two bolts really are not necessary. I believe that I only used four bolts and nuts along with the 3M tape to install mine and it worked out perfect. Check out the pics here.
