this may be a stupid question but what stops these from skating on the surface?

My car has a wing and I hated it when I first got the car. I wanted to trade trunks with a wingless person but now to be honest, its growing on me and I like it.

Around that price, you can PM me if you're interested in an exact price, but my sisters boyfriend got one for his altima from "autowingking" on ebay which is the guy who sells all oem replicas for about 100 shipped and painted, they are a bit off, my sisters altima came from the factory with a spoiler and he has the replica his looks totally different right next to the real nissan spoiler, so I like having actual oem parts not replicas. you get what you pay for, and I don't mind paying for quality

Just make sure you triple check everything. You can't un-drill a hole.

Just make sure you use those templates and check a couple times. You'll be fine.

Worst case I'll screw up, & need to get my trunk welded and repainted which would mean a molded lip & full debadge.
