Rep Power: 0 how much would u expect for me to pay to have a pro do it...i have no probs paying for it to be done right since it is a gift and i dont wanna mess up my g/f's car...also...what comes with the spoiler for mounting?
if i took it to a shop and just had the spoiler would they be able to handle the rest and mount it?
thanks

it's REALLY easy. The instructions that come with the oem spoiler are awesome and your car is even pre-marked for you. Step up and make it a DIY

the car is premarked for me? i mean me and her dad can do the work as long as it isn't a huge deal...it will already be painted when i get it so it will just have to be mounted...how do i run the wire so the led light works with the brakes?
I did it myself really easy!!
Get yourself a nice set of drill bits
and a drill
Start off with a small bit and find the nipples in the trunk there are 3 of them i believe...
drill in the center of them get a bigger bit drill it out than get a larger bit and drill that
put the spolier on your trunk and then screw it in and presto DIY Spoiler
Tap the wires into the brake light and PRESTO

Don't pay for an actual OEM spoiler. Check out this site, you can get it painted and shipped for less than 250 and the paint matches up really well (I bought one, installed it myself and couldn't be happier other than the fact that the led rattles from my sub.) Spoilers Install is super easy, they even give directions. Good Luck!

You could do that but the poiler should come with these little plastic tappers
you put the spoiler wire in one and the brake light in the other and snap the 2 pieces together and that makes a connection for you.
