Can't stand it anymore, I want to move my oe spoiler back tomorrow, but I gotta do it while my husband's not home cause he thinks I'll screw up, so I'm asking for a little help. I want to use the second hole as the first, so I'll have to fill the first. My main question is does anybody know what size drill bit I need to get the hole the right size? Also, any tips are appreciated...

Just copy the size of the existing holes. I moved the wing back on the 99
gt I had. There should be 3 holes each side. The center hole is for a locator
pin , Grind down the locator pin, its plastic. Then you use that hole as the
1st one. (about 1.5" back) then drill the new back hole. You can go
even farther back (1" more) but then you will have to drill 2 holes each side.
I used rubber washers on the bolt holes between the trunk lid and wing.

Thank you for the help. It's done and I think looks way better, tho the few people who have seen it so far don't see a difference. I moved it back about 3 inches. I'll try to get pics up later today or tomorrow. I decided today is Blue Mustang Day, so I wanna do a few more things incl. wash and wax before I take pictures.

It is kind of one of those things that YOU can notice and it is subtle....until you see it next to a stocker! Looks 10x better
