    OK, I am sure this has been dragged thru the mud a thousand times, but would still like more info. Have the spoiler, less mounting u-shaped brackets. Have read about making them from "plastic conduit". Can some one maybe give details, I am picturing the conduit laying on its side with the hole thru it to mount to the deck lid, is that correct? Maybe a pic would help.
    Thanx guys.

    Here is what I made mine with, been on the car for a few years with no problem. I used a 3/4" pvc electrical conduit coupling and cut it at an angle to match inside area of trunklid were spoiler mounts, them use a
    1 1/4"x1/4" fender washer and a 1 1/2"x 1/4" bolt to hold it on. Hardest part is holding on to it through the small holes in trunklid.

    Stud would be a better way to go as you have one less piece to fumble with, just not as easy to buy at hardware store.

    Maybe even longer studs so you can put the nut and washer on with your fingers.
