'09 OE Rear Spoiler Installation?
Does anyone have experience with installing the OE rear spoiler. Found a site that will ship pre-painted. Does the OE spoiler require drilling or is it double sided 3m tape?

You are going to need a spring tool as well! I just happen to have one I can let go fairly cheap.

FYI.. that trunk spring tool is a special order item. I bought one when I put a deck lid spoiler on my 3G because I had to change out the springs. I took it to a local guy but they had no spring tool.

Without the tool.. the springs are dangerous, trust me, I learned the hard way with a very close call! There is a lot of tension on them.
