Template for spoiler install

Any one happen to have the template for a factory rear wing for the 99 Maxima?

This drawing of the back side of the wing is helpful, but if someone has since found an actual template, or at least the proper dimensions for where this wing goes on the lid, I'd appreciate it. My local dealer says that no such template exists, even though presumably, dealers install these as options. Car is a '96, BTW.

why don't you make one? clee130 posted the dimensions for you, just make your measurements on a big piece of paper, put it on your trunk lid, mark, check twice, and drill...

Because like I said, I don't know where to mount it (fore and aft) on the trucklid. If I had one reference point, I could do what you suggest.

put it where u think it looks best! dont always try to make it perfect. im sure thats exactly what dealers do. just find centerline of the trunk, measure 12 3/8 out and thats where the inside posts go. rest should fall into place. id say match the taper of the wing to the quarter panel as close as you can, and thats where it would go. if all of this makes no sense, want me to post a pic of mine, and u can base it off relativity?

I don't know anyone with a Max, so if you'd be so kind as to post some close-ups of the fore/aft position, I'd appreciate it. Thanks for the kind offer.

P.S. I did find an article showing a template for the '04 cars and have emailed the dealer who was mentioned. It's possible that it's just my local dealer that's clueless.
