Does anyone know how to install a factory wing? My trunk lid came stock without a wing. I can't find it in the DIY directory. I called a few body shops and they are all charging 125 to 175 for the install. I have a painted wing, ready to go. If anyone knows a place around the Hartford, CT area that is really cheap and good please let me know! Otherwise I need to do it myself.

-Thanks

Is it a new spoiler? Have you ever done anything like this before?
If it is (new) it should have come with instructions/template for mounting. I assume you have the hardware that mounts the spoiler?
If you don't have them,,,
Go to your dealer and ask them if they have a new spoiler in stock. If they do then ask them if you can make a copy of the instructions/template. If they wont do it I would ask if you could purchase the instructions/template and mounting hardware.
All I can say is if you do it yourself.
Measure and mark about 3 times to make sure you are square on the trunk lid. Drilling of the holes can only be done once. Well it can be done more than once, but you don't want that many holes in your trunk. Do you? It is a precise pattern of holes to mount the spoiler on. Unless you use a larger bit than suggested. (Would not recommend that)
It will take six drill points (holes) to mount it properly. Four hold bolts on the outer edges and two hold plastic clips inward from the edge. This is for additional alignment and mounting strength.
Be sure to put some paint on the bare metal inside the holes you drill to prevent rust.

I'll give that a try. Thanks. Is there anyone out there that has the instructions at their disposal?
