Actually they didn't but good point. The wire shouldn't move much so I'm not to worried about it. The hole is actually much bigger (3/8") then is needed for just 2 wires.

Hmm .. may want to throw something in there anyway ... it's not the clearance, its the constant rubbing at the same spot on the wire over time that may pop your fuse.

Thanks, I'll look at it again and see what I can do.

Few questions... You only have to drill one hole? How's the spoiler attached?

You said you used a hair dryer on the "tape". It's taped on? This scares me.
Surely the factory spoiler is not taped on?

If it is taped on, I guess you got 1 chance to position it correctly? I would assume once you stick it on that's it?

Does it come with some kind of template to position it correctly?

What did you do before sticking it on? I've Zaino'd my car, it's pretty slick. Will tape really stick to Zaino?

Sorry no I met you had to drill one hole for the wiring to go thru. The spoiler is attached by tape and two screws drilled and screwed from under the trunk lid.

Actually there is tape which also acts as a gasket. I'm sure the stock spoiler has something similar.

If it is taped on, I guess you got 1 chance to position it correctly? I would assume once you stick it on that's it?
Yes and no, I was able to unstick it once to move it a little. Just don't push down to hard until it's in position.

Does it come with some kind of template to position it correctly?
Again yes and no. The template is the spoiler itself. You position the spoiler where it is going to go and take a grease pencil and draw an outline of the spoiler pad both sides, then remove the spoiler and use the paper template they give you to drill the hole for the wires to run thru. You then peel the paper off the pad (I did one side at a time) and line up the pad with the outline you drew. Then push down to stick the spoiler to the car.

What did you do before sticking it on? I've Zaino'd my car, it's pretty slick. Will tape really stick to Zaino?
I didn't do anything special and in the directions they do not mention having to remove any wax so I just clean the area. In your case I would maybe try and remove some of the wax using maybe a clay bar.

After sticking it down and adding the two screws this spoiler isn't going anywhere. It fits perfectly and looks great! It's really easy to install.

Here are the directions: http://www.dawn-ent.com/Source%20Doc...nfg354dr07.pdf

Not much, a few thousand at most.
