I will be getting my factory "like" spoiler this weekend and was wondering if there was specific instructions on how to install it floating around? Thanks for any help!

Dry fit it first to see if it looks right and adjust accordingly.

Mask off the areas where the holes are to be drilled (roughly) and dry fit the spoiler and mark with a pen, and then drill the holes.

After you drill the holes, coat the edges of the hole with some paint, maybe from a touch-up bottle you have lying around. The color doesn't matter since it won't be seen. You can also put some RTV around the edges before putting the bolts through. The point is to coat any metal edges to prevent the new raw edge from rusting and eventually the rust will work its way out from under the spoiler. You see this often in conversion vans where the conversion company cuts out the large window openings and then a few years later rust starts working its way out from under the molding. The factory usually punches any holes in sheet metal before anti-corrosion coatings are applied so that the hole edges also get coated.
