INSTALL HELP OEM Deck Lid Spoiler

Who has installed this themselves?

How hard was it to drill the holes?

I'm nervous.

Just make sure you accurately mark the holes before you drill. Drilling is not to bad as long as you have a decent drill. You might want to touch up the wholes with touch up paint to clear nail polish after you are done to prevent it from rusting in the future.

I would use a metal carbide tip'd drill bit -- go buy a brand new one if you don't have a newer one at home, it's worth it. Use the smallest drill bit you have to drill "markers" or "pilot" holes .. and then come in with the recommended size drill bit.

I totally agree w/ Smak01 -- use touchup or clear coat to protect the exposed metal in the holes from future rust -- and you're all set. Triple check every measurement, drill once (as they say).

Remember, if you screw up the placement of the holes, they`ll still be "covered" when the spoiler goes on right
