I need help with a wing!

I bought a aftermarket wing of somekind of a wreck today. Got it home sanded it and primed it black. Now iam ready to put it on but i want to do it right. Does anyone know of a good link for installing wings? It has the light bar on it so i will need to wire it up and run the wiring from the wing itself. The wing looks great, came of a nice 96 se. Somebody decided to crash it pretty badly. Made me kinda sick lookin at it. Anyway thanks for any advice.

break out the tape measure, and a wax pencil... make sure you measure 100x's double checking to make sure its centered.. then drill the holes, and the one for the wiring, then connect it up, and let'er rip

Or.... I could send you the template I got from my friendly Nissan Dealer. You just tape it onto your decklid and drill holes accordingly. All that I ask is that you send me your address, be patient, and watch for people to send the template along to when they need assistance.

Well at first the spoiler looked factory on the maxima it was on, but upon a closer inspection I found it was made of fiberglass. I think it's one of those universal type, but it looks good. I will post pics as soon as I get it on.
