What Kind Of A Shop Installs Spoilers?

I just bought the OEM coupe wing from SQ civic, that he had taken off from his car which he get from the factory. I think it's only coming with the spoiler, the brake light, and 4 screws. Do you think I could install something like this by myself? I'm not sure, sounds a lil complicated for me. Well if I get it installed professionally, what kind of shop would install it? Would I have to go to one of those high priced body repair shops? They'd probably charge me more than I payed for the wing to put it on.

Yah, you should have no problem doing it yourself. Unless you have a problem taking a drill to your trunk!! I have come across many website that have a step by step instructions. Do a search on yahoo or google and you should find instructions. I believe that the trunk even has litte indentions where you drill.

Honda Accessories has them online.

Well, on our cars there should be little dents on the inside of the truck so you know exactlly where to drill for the factory spoiler. If I was affraid to do it myself I would take it to a decent body shop. They will probably even do it while you wait. Good luck!

I put the instructions in the box. I think the safest bet would be to let the dealer install it.

Yes Honda recommends that you let a pro install. If at all you are weary of drilling holes into your trunk, take it to the dealer. It might cost more, but if there's any problems with it, they fix it.

How much am I looking at for a "Pro" to do it? The spoiler only cost me $100. I don't want to spend another bill for someone to drill 4 holes.
