I dont remeber which hole but it will only align 1 way. On the tape pull just enough of the red cover so you can pull it from under the spolier when you set it down. Its hard to do but thats the best way I found.

Test fit it with the tape in place and it's obvious.

I'm afraid that like most things, you have to take great care. I would suggest two people, one either end and two small blocks of something to keep the spoiler off the decklid. Feed the two bolts into the spoiler so you have it roughly aligned then push the spacers out and lower gently. You get one chance - once it's on, it's stuck.

Test fit before even revealing any of the tape. The holes that are used are the ones closest to the back of the trunklid. I had my dad help me for final install. What I did to help align it on the "stick down" is I used purple painters tape to mark the center of the spoiler during the test fit. I used a piece on the trunklid and spoiler. I used a dot in the center of the third brake light for the alignment point. This made it easy to see where to line it up.



Good luck and please feel free to ask any questions you have before final install.

Finished installing it, hardest part was takin the damn adhesive off from the stock wing! after learning which holes it used finalizing the install took no more than 5minutes. i chose to use the factory stud and nuts inplace of the screws sent with it as this made it alot easier. overall id say it looks great, only down side is it came with a small chip on one corner, for some odd reason the ups guy was driving a penske truck...maybe that had something to do with it.
