If it's a factory, or "factory like" Knock off like mine, pay the dealer to install it. Otherwise it's not real hard, but I don't have the balls to do it. You have to drill the mounting holes in the trunk lid, should be 4 after test fitting, & decide where the holes should be, use some sealent around the holes, run the 3rd brake light wire, & that's about it.

I had them do that, & install my painted mud flaps. Cost me $100 with tax. So I guess about $50-$60 would be just for the spolier. Oh & if you want your trunk lid to stay open, you will need the new trunk springs. The trunk lid will not stay open with the weight of the spolier. I got them about a week later. Those cost me $35, but they were installed for free.

Drill 4 holes to a hair bigger than the bolts on the spoiler where they have them marked under the lid. Next there is one hole that isn't marked. It is for the wire on the 3rd brake light. Get a hole a bit smaller than the rubber groument of the wire that seals the hole itself. You will tril this hole from the top, and you must be careful because the drill might slide along the paint. What I recommend is getting a small nail, and a hammer and lightly tap a dent where you will drill it so it holds the drill bit from moving around. What you need to do, is carefully figure out where the hole is on the wing to where you need the hole on the lid of the trunk, and drill it. Then once all the holes are done, Put silicone around the smaller 4 and the bolts you stick in helps as well, put the wing on with the wire through its hole first and groument installed, then snap it all the way in the holes and tighten it down. Not super tight, tight enough where it won't come undone. Hope this helps some!
