I've looked around on google and stuff but can't find specifics. I'm picking up a stillen sport wing this weekend for $35, its an older guy selling it and he doesn't know much about it. I managed to talk him down a ways cause its a couple hour drive. Anyways, where can i find some bolts for the install? I have a NA so i don't have any and he doesn't have any hardware with it. What all will I need for the complete install? Thanks in advance

Never installed one of those but my experience with spoilers shows that the studs should be built into the spoiler in which case you should need nuts, washers, and foam/rubber & sealant to waterproof the install. As for drilling the holes, I am no expert but one way to prevent chipping the paint is to use masking tape over the hole you'll be drilling and perhaps using a heat-gun to heat up (melt) the paint somewhat before drilling.

^Thats what I have heard aswell.. To add to that make sure you use some felt washers where the hardware meets the body to help keep it from starting to rust.

There was an Schassis guy here on NICO a couple months ago that used a neoprene washer.
