when I bought my '92 lx notch it came with a saleen wing that wasnt installed. I wanted to put it on but where I have to drill the holes it looks like the bolts will hit the weather striping on the trunk lid or I will have to drill through all the trunk braces? has anyone done this that could help me out? maybe even some pics of where the bolts are suposed to go?

It was a PITA imho and I wouldn't do it again.
When i put a Saleen wing on my '88, i had to have all the holes filled except for two. Then had the hatch repainted. Then i had to carefully mark and drill out new holes through the bracing and hatch. It sucked.
Easier to buy a GT hatch...or sell the Saleen wing and get a Steeda Aero wing and be different.

Notch was easier.
PS, I used paper to mark the holes. Taped paper to the bottom of the wing. Don't forget to mark the holes. Align the wing on the trunklid. Take a thousand measurements. Once your sure you have it, untape from the wing and tape to the car. Remove wing. Mark on trunk. Remeasure everything. Punch a dent. Check bottom. Drill. Wasn't so bad.
Forgot to add....cost me $600 to have a body shop fill all the holes and paint the hatch for me. I had a brand new paint job, so i wanted to make sure the hatch looked perfect.
Now i'm taking the Saleen wing off and putting the stock wing back.

He has a notch not a hatch.

Thanks for the input. I wasn't sure if i was suposed to drill through the braces or if i had the wrong spoiler. I'm still deciding on if i should do it or not. I'll see a picture of one that looks great and I want to then I'll see one that looks fugly and I dont. Without it, it looks like somthings missing. With it, it just looks to big...
