Whoa $159 painted! Buyer beware on such a low price. For anyone buying it, I hope it turns out to be a great deal!

The eBay add has bolt on instructions.

In addition they note they are not responsible for spoilers that are not bolted down.

Its a good deal, but to me the spoiler is way to big and over exagerrated. It takes up half of the trunk lid...

No Drill Application STEP-by-STEP

Step 1. Surface Cleaning
Clean surface area that is to be covered by spoiler thoroughly, with Isopropyl Alcohol.

Step 2. Test Fitting the Unit
Before removing the tape backing, test fit spoiler in order to get comfortable with the placement. You can mark the position with a grease pen or masking tape for a perfect fit.

Step 3. Preparation
Peel back the corner of the red liner on the 3M tape and remove all pieces, avoid touching exposed tape.

Step 4. Installation
Gently press spoiler into place on the deck lid, hatch or rear glass. Once satisfied with placement, firmly press down on spoiler to ensure cohesion along entire vehicle surface. Continue to apply pressure or use masking tape to keep unit from lifting.

Helpful Tips
Adhesive silicones and/or adhesion promoters are often used in conjunction with provided 3M tape for long lasting durability. For best results installation should be conducted in temperatures above 72. Refer to tape manufacturers recommendations for full details. Do Not clean, wash, wax or drive for 12 hours after installation. Shopitall is not responsible for no drill attachment durability.

Did you read the 10 step right above the steps you listed

<snip>
Bolt-On Application STEP-by-STEP

STEP 1.
After opening and inspecting your rear spoiler you can begin the installation. Notice that the LED light and the pedestal gaskets come pre-installed from the factory (pre-painted spoilers only), which will shave some time off the installation.

STEP 2.
Start out by turning over the spoiler and setting it on a soft surface, to prevent any scratches. Place the plastic locator T-strips into the mounting holes on spoiler and LED brake light hole. TIP: A small piece of masking tape is helpful in holding the T-strips in position.

STEP 3.
Place spoiler on closed decklid and align to proper position. A measuring tape will ensure a "perfect" alignment.

STEP 4.
Using masking tape, secure locator T-strips to the decklid of the vehicle. Simply remove the spoiler by lifting straight up leaving the T-strips secured to the decklid.

STEP 5.
Using a 1/8" drill bit, drill thru the T-strip holes and into the decklid. It is not necessary to drill through a double panel on this particular application because we can utilize the factory openings on the underside.

STEP 6.
Remove T-strips and using a 5/16" drill bit, drill thru the 1/8" hole in step 5. If a "double panel" does exist, use a 3/4" drill bit to drill thru the "inner panel". This allows the ratchet or nutdriver to secure the screw tightly against the upper panel.


STEP 7.
After deburring all holes, apply small amounts of primer which will help prevent rusting of the freshly drilled metal.

STEP 8.
Pull back pedestal gaskets exposing mounting tape and place spoiler on decklid and using supplied screws secure to the vehicle using a ratchet or nutdriver. Be sure to feed the LED light wire through the pre-determined hole. Apply small amounts of silicone based caulk over mounting screws as this will help prevent leaking, rusting, or loosening of screws. TIP: Gasket material is extremely sticky once exposed, so we found that spraying it with water or glass cleaner will allow you to reposition spoiler as needed.

STEP 9.
When installing a LED brake light it is recommended to splice into the 3rd brake light in the vehicle and attach spoiler wires using electrical tape. Step on the brake light to ensure proper wiring, simply switch the two connections if spoiler does not light.

STEP 10.
Finish your install by vacuuming any debris or metal shavings and then reinstall any panels, mats or other items that may have removed earlier in installation.

Haha, selective reading. FWIW, they sell OEM replica parts too. I'm curious about their feedback...
