Wings West Flushmount Spoiler Owners...Help Please

I bought a Wings West flushmount spoiler a while back off eBay. However, the seller did not have the bolts. I called Wings West to see if they could tell me the length, width and pitch of the bolts so I could go get them from a hardware store (after waiting 2 months with no response from my e-mail inquiry). The representative said they don't use the bolts to attach it, only the 3M tape, and so he could not get the information I need. The width and pitch are easy enough for me to check by testing different bolts and seeing which fits. However, I need to know the correct length of the bolt I need. Can any of you with the flushmount spoiler bolted in tell me what the length of the bolt is? I'd very much appreciate it.

How about just walking into the hardware store with it and testing the bolts. I cant imagine they have to be real long. They are only going thru 3/16 of trunk material. the rest is in the spoiler

Oh ok, so it's just the sheet metal. There's no padding or anything else that would increase the length. Thanks Kris!

The OEM spoiler is too common and I don't like it that much. The Mugen and A-Spec are too expensive. I got the WW for $40 off eBay and I really like the look of it. To each his own

$40!?! Wow, phenomenal deal. I've been keeping my eyes open for one. I like how subtle it looks.

Yup, I got REALLY lucky. The item was just described as "Acura TL Spoiler" with no picture. The price was really low so I asked the seller to send me a pic of it. She did, and I realized it was WW. Only one other person bid and I outbid him at the last second. She told me she was selling some car parts of her husband's, so she didn't really know anything about it.

I used 3m taped Left to Right front and back part of the spoiler and just bought 4 bolt that are about 1/2 inch long an just used them. I think any bolt that screw in type should work fine.
