100% Doesnt take much timming and it will never be noticed even if you reinstall the stock spoiler.

[QUOTE=Gene Culley;1576449030]Thank you very kindly for all of the support and positive feedback. From what I'm reading, I believe the OP has purchased a used item.[/QUOT

I don't believe I bought a used one. It came in a cream colored long sock and wraped in bubble wrap. If it's used its not been mounted maybe it was bought then re sold not sure. At any rate I would love some help in getting this install kit so I can have this installed soon. Gene can you help out??

If you bought it new, then I would return to the seller and ask for them to get you a new one which contains the hardware and templates. I cannot get them separately.

You should be able to determine what the studs are that are required for the installation. I can mail him the instructions and the template.

I or maybe someone may be able to take a picture of the hardware. Maybe you can go to home depot Lowes or ACE Harware and sind something very simular or even match it.

This is typically caused by overtightening the bolts on the outer sides of the spoiler.
It happened to me when I removed mine to install the stripe kit, and when I reinstalled it, I got a little overzealous with the wrench and got the dreaded "gap".

I mailed him the template that I received from Gene with my spoiler and he has confirmed that he got the template. I guess he is just missing the hardware now.

Ok, I a showing my age. I just mailed a template to someone here on the forum a week ago. But I have deleted my PMs so I can't remember who I mailed it to. If that person reads this post, please extend the good will and email this OP the template. Thanks.
