Also, when everything is said and done..where the original trunk light wire went inside the trunk, that will be exposed..but because it's under the LED light, I just put some painters tape there for now and i'm gonna cover that with some black electrical tape..as it's not that noticeable but water could definitely leak inside the vehicle that way.
It's better to try and cover that with the spoiler off..and when it comes to drilling, a 3/8s drill bit will suffice to get you started on the outside of the trunk (talking particularly about the center) but there's no way to get the bolt through that space from inside the trunk (for the outer edges) you will need at least a 1/2" drill bit, maybe bigger..we only had a 3/8's so we had to grind out the hole from inside the trunk..enough for a phillips end to go through but you have to be very cautious because you can easily lose parts..otherwise, make it bigger to get a socket to fit through there 1/4" drive, 10mm with an extension and you're good to go!

I will use my 3/8" bit as a starter then do the rest with my uni-bit. That way on the ends for most of the tightening I will use my battery impact with a socket.
Does anyone know where to get those little vinyl adhesive patches? U know they have several on the doors where you try to access the rods for the door lock. I heard you can get them somewhere but don't know exactly where that maybe.

Sooooooooo Sorry I didn't post pics, I completely forgot - my bad.
Very pleased with the outcome. The little bit of extra work was well worth it! Car looks way awesome again with the spoiler and the LED light just gives it a good look

lol I work there actually haha, are you an Inside Track Club member?? lol jk.
and well tbh I didn't seat the spoiler with the foam because everything lined up EXCEPT the far left corner as far as holes that we drilled out. Well I'm not gonna go buy a grinder when my roommate already has one..because the mounting hole is off probably by 2 or 3mm which it catches every 3/4 of a turn so we backed it off and didn't put the seat on there until he comes back (because he has his tools with him) he'll be back this weekend so it'll be done soon. So the blue painters tape was just a bypass for when it rains.
