*That being said Lets get started!
Step 1
Get the Tools, Cleaner and the Template ready
Image
Step 2
Start disassembly of the Trunk liner
Image
Clips
Image
Clips
Image
Bumper stop
Image
Emergency handle
Image
Image
Step 3
Place a large piece of parchment paper or plastic on the Trunk Floor ( this is to catch all the shavings)
Image
Step 4
Template Lay Out Time
Image
Make sure you have tape torn into pieces 1" long ready and waiting
Image
Image
Take your time laying it out, each of the arrows should point perfectly to the seams of the trunk lid (as shown here)
Image
Remember measure twice, Drill once!
Image
Image
The template is designed to align around the emblems
Image
Step 5
Pucker Time....lets drill some holes!
Image
Use a small bit first to tap your holes, then work up to the largest.
Image
Take your time...this hurts a little I know...
Image
Image
Image
Step 6
Clean up your holes and use air to remove all shavings!
Image
Image
Image
Before
Image
After
Image
Paint the edges with nail polish or Touch up paint.
Image
Step 7
Insert Hardware in both the trunk and the Spoiler
Image
Image
Image
Rember to pull back the double sided tape about 1/4 of the way across
Image
Now is the time!!! Wipe down the Trunk lid with the Alcohol wipes
Image
Image
Ready for test fit! Lets prep the underside of the holes
Image
Image
Step 8
Test the fit of the Spoiler.
Also you will be securing the nut from the underside of the trunk lid.
Image
Bring the extension!
Image
Image
Leave the nut loose so that you can position the spoiler exactle center
Image
Image
Check those gaps!
Image
Image
Step 9
Final Spoiler align and peel the rest of the backing away from the tape.
Image
Image
Step 10
Check it Out!
