Rear Lip Spoiler Install, No Body Told Me.......
Hey! 
No One Said I Had To Change Out The Deck lid Spring. And No One said I Had To Drill My Trunk. I Thought It was held In Place With Sticky Tape. Man That Little Spring Was A Mother To Get back On. Still Havent Decided To Drill My Trunk Yet. I might Add More Sticky Stuff To It.
It Will Still Be Worth It.

never stops!
Actually after realising the quality of the double sided tape they used in headliner, Acura changed the design to make sure the wing does not fly off on the G35 behind you and stick on its grill like a moustach.

One bit of advice I know from first hand experience on my Camry's lip spoiler is to have some else hold the spoiler in place while marking off all the edges with masking tape. This will help to make sure that your spoiler is centered on the trunk lid. The double stick tape looses its effectiveness quite quickly if you yank it off after adhering it if you make a mistake. Good luck.
By the way, changing the spring may not have been mentioned because it is not really necessary...the trunk still pops open via the remote even with the original spring (just does not pop so high).

If you don't drill it - just promise us you won't post again in a few weeks complaining that your lip did not stay on....unless you have some funny pics of it sticking out of the guys grill behind you!!
...drill it - it is no big deal.
