    Ok...here it is. The trunk cap, does it require a special spacer or nut to fit in the concavity of the inside of the trunk?

    What size holes should I drill for the 4 studs?

    Thx, Mark

    You need to drill 1" holes and there is a special washer for it. If you dont have them you will have to make something up cause they are not available anywhere.

    I have a jig I made up that you lay on the trunk and draw exactly where the holes go...and the right diameter. You can borrow it if you pay the shipping both ways so I can get it back.

    To hold it in, get 3" washers and bend them slightly to fit up in there and hold the spoiler on.

    Great help guys! The spoiler is now installed! Great fit too! Thanks Graig for the template offer! But I got it in!

    Made 4 simple "u" shaped spacers of a piece of "u" shaped steel.:D
