I have installed a couple of the full race spoiler myself. If you unscrewed the old spoiler, removed the light and the pins, laid out the template taped it down, drilled the holes in the body, installed the light and pins in the new spoiler and bolted everything together in a half hour you are good. It took me that long to read the instructions and get all the tools together.

Looks real good! Was it pre-painted already? If so, where did you get it? I'd like to get one like that already painted.

Full-width spoilers only look good when the car is sitting on a lift.


Oh wait - you have one of those too !
