After you drill your first hole, its a piece of cake. Just take it slow and only drill the holes as big as you need them.

just a reminder, you should get some touch up paint to put around the holes you drill so they don't rust and cause major problems....

I did mine completely perfect, didn't need touch up paint or anything,(although I have some).......
HandA recomended to drill, 3mm then 6mm, then 8mm, then 10mm,........
I got sketchy after 8mm,.......didn't want to run the HUGE 10mm bit through my trunk,..so I just used a round file, and file the hole perfectly to fit the spoiler bolts......it was cake......little sketchy, but easy....
good luck....

Yep, got mine from spoilerdepot back in febuary. Mine was like 225 painted and shipped. The installation is real easy. The trunk already has demples from the factory marking the drilling locations. The wiring was a pain for me. It took me about 5 tries to find the right wire to tap into. You could just use the light in the rear window but using the rear lights makes for a cleaner installation.

hmm, yeah, i can still see wires, i tried to hide them, but i can live with it, i just spliced into the rear ones, didn't really know what else i could do to be honest, but i love it, and i left the brake light on too, so people behind me are pleasantly blinded ;-)
