weighing in on the spoiler install for anyone thinking of jumping on one...
i took off the oem spoiler, cleaned the area andthe cf spoiler on the car and layed down 1 inch blue painters tape for marking purposes.
then i put 2 pieces of tape running from the holes in the cf spoiler to the edge of the bottom with a line indicating exactly where the hole is.
then i placed the spoiler on the hatch and marked on the tape on the car where the holes are located.
i measured how far from the edge the holes are (1 inch) marked it on the car and drilled.
the holes where about 1/8" off so i bored them out a bit more.
upon install i realized the screws it comes with are too long even w/ 2 flat washers and lock washers. so i went and boutght 1/2" new metric screws.
i went back and spent hours trying to get the screws to thread but to no avail. turns out that the spoiler had a slight defect where the screws don't thread in perfectly straight on either side. so placement of the spoiler in order to thread the screws is damn near impossible.
let me save you mad trouble right now! go buy m6 double threaded studs (i got mine at ace hardware) thread them into the spoiler w/ some lock tight, line the edge of the bottom (both above and below the screws) w/ doubled sides 3m red, put it down, and use neoprene washers and lock washers w/ the coresponding nuts to bolt it down tight.
hope this helps anyone getting ready to jump on a spoon wing (real or replica you still need to drill new holes so yeah!)

bro its easier than it sounds.
1)take off stock spoiler
2)pull off plastic tabs
3)cover top and hatch w/ blue masking tape (cut slices on lines where hatche opens so as to not tear the tape off)
4)place cf spoiler on car, center it, and trace edges w/ black marker on blue tape
5)measure where holes are on cf spoiler (1"down and centered)
6)drill a small pilot hole and then 1/4" hole.
7)place studs in cf spoiler w/ locktite and place on car.
8)(granted everything lines up if not you may need to bore one hole or another just a bit) pull off the tape, and place black vynil (or electric tape) on the old holes.**FYI** i had to cut the metal w/ sheet metal scissors on the inside of the hatch to properly place and tighted the hardware.
9)add the double sided tape to spoiler, peel backing, place a dab of sylicon around the base of the studs and slap the spoiler on.
10)put the neoprene washers (metal with the rubber underneath) then lock washers (i used the ones that came w/ the wing) then the nut, tighten, and wua-lahhhh! ALL DONE!!
