Do it your damn self! Spoilers are easy, but you MUST have another person helping you, to hold the spoiler still as you drill. They also serve as another set of eyes to make sure everything is straight. And you can make you own template out of cocktail straws and masking tape. And predrilling is your friend.

Why the hell do you need a template. Just mark where you need to drill, and get it done.

Most spoilers come with little pieces of plastic that you tape down before you drill.

1: Put the plastic pieces in all of the holes that are in the wing.

2: Place the wing where you want it on the trunk and measure it out to make it even and centered. (you will need another person to hold the wing in place while you adjust it.

3:Tape the plastic pieces to your trunk with masking tape.

4: Remove the wing from the plastic pieces.(you are now left with the plastic pieces taped to your trunk. This is where your holes will be drilled.)

5: Make sure it is where you want it because you will be drilling holes next and you don't want to miss.

6: Use a thin drill bit that will fit down inside the plastic pieces that are taped to your trunk. The plastic pieces will make you drill straight so don't worry about missing your mark.

7: Drill all the holes with the small bit and then remove the plastic pieces.

8: Now you drill the holes again using the bit that is needed for the bolts to fit in nicely.

9: Put the wing on and screw that sucker down.

10: Important part that I'm sure alot of people forget. Spray all the drilled holes with some form of anti rust spray.

You are done the wing install. Now you just have to connect the brake light!

Well now I agree with you. If you don't have faith in yourself, then who are we to argue. Pay the man.
