    Take some pics while you're at it! That would complete the tech article!

    And good luck! :)

    OMG!!!!! ok..so the spoiler had a crack in it on the driver side and i fiberglassed it back up..couldnt even tell where it had been cracked..and when i bolted it up...i guess the pressure was too much for the glass and it cracked it again..but it was in the same spot..a lil more tweakin here and there and it'll look straight then ill just glass the crack over again and it'll look as good as new...the holes were easy to drill in the trunk. just took a hole saw where i marked it and then a dremell and fine tuned the holes..even w/ the cracked spoiler it just looks better w/ a spoiler..

    Pix are coming soon. I had to take the spoiler back off and grind all the glass off and reglass it.turns out that because my stupid ass didnt give the glass enough time to dry thoroughly before i primered it the lacquer in the primer kept the glass from cureing..but since i had to take the spoiler back off i took pix of the holes i had to drill in my trunk and the locations. ill put them up as soon as i have time..by the way...how do i post pix?

    i found the hardest part was getting the nuts on up inside the trunk while leaving the lid on. of the whole rear bumper swap that was the most time consuming

    the nuts on mine are in the piece that holds it on and i just put it on the end of the socket and hoped it didnt crossthread :D it worked and never cross threaded...but i have it glassed back together so im gonna do some beauty work and make it look right then put it back on..then ill put the pix up all at once
