So I got my new roush spoiler...I didnt realize that the directions call out for me drilling 8-10 holes in my decklid and 1/4 panels to mount this bad boy. I REALLY dont want to go drilling into any NEW body panels.

I can mount the main spoiler with the 3m tape and the stock mounting holes...

Do you all think I can mount the two endcaps or sidepieces with just the 3m tape that is provided?

i dont know what the tape looks like on this spoiler, but 3m tape holds very well of it is properly used.

worst case scenario.....the spoiler falls off and you have to replace the spoiler. this is opposed to drilling holes in a brand new car.

i think it should hold if you clean the area very well before you install it.

From what I understood, the spoiler uses the same holes as the factory spoiler. I guess you have the spoiler delete option?

Also, I used 3M tape to attach my louvers. Those things aren't going ANYWHERE!

THe roush piece is EXTREMELY light...made of ABS.

The roush piece DOES use the 4 factory mounting holes (thats why I bought it) - but you also have to drill several holes in the 1/4 panel for the end caps and a few additional holes in the decklid. (I dont have the spoiler delete option.)

Looks like a trip to the body shop.

just bite the bullet and drill the holes. I did and I couldn't be happier, but I don't have any future plans on removing it...
One of the reasons I like this kit vs the others, is that it DOES bolt on. Maybe I'm just getting old, but I don't like the idea of taping things to my car.
