need template to install spoiler
ill b gettin an oem spoiler soon(hopefully) and its not going to b coming with the template to drill the exact place to put the harness thro. is there somewhere i can get it b.c the dealership doesnt sell them by themselves. i know i can drill the other 4 holes on the side to mount the spoiler but not the spot for the harness. if someone could scan theirs or know a site that has em it would be much appreciated thx.

I was actually wondering about this too, because sometime in the future I'm going to install an OEM spoiler on a friend's car...I was just planning on taking the one off my trunk and making my own template, but if somebody knows where one is...that'd be great

I've never looked under a trunk that didn't have a spoiler on it...IE my own. I haven't looked at my friend's trunk, because he just asked me a few days ago to try to find one...

yea dude, the most you can probably is sneak into the repair field of Honda and try to snag one of the dudes to quickly mark it off for you, lol just haggle like 5 bucks or sumthing lol, im thinking about doing that for the stupid wire harness I need to connect my spoiler to brake light
All righty... I did my spoiler without a template AND YOU CAN TOO! The 4 holes for the main bolts are easy to get. Just open the trunk and look for 2 flat spots on either side. Now here comes the fun part. Take a 3mm drill and drill in the center of each hole. Then a 6mm then a 10mm. After that clean the holes and such. Make sure there's no metal burrs.
Next you need to actually mount the spoiler and kinda guess where the plug is going to go. It took me a few tries to mark the spot but once I did it was dead on. Sure you can do it with the template but what's the fun in that?

O.K. I made a 100% copy on a digital copier at work with a ruler along side for scale. I scanned in the image and cleaned up the black areas of the copy and printed. Problem is it did not remain 100%. (off by about 1/8th to 1/4 inch per inch) You may be able to take the image and copy with slight enlargment settings until the scale reference ruler matches yours.
If you want what I have PM with E-Mail address and I will send it or if you want the original 100% copy I could snail mail it to you, Let me know.
