What I did when I installed a spoiler on my '95 was that I measured the centers on each mounting bolt so that when you drill thru the trunk the holes line up perfectly. Line up the spoiler on the trunk centering to the fact where you are going to mount it. Pick a reference point on each side of the trunk (left side and right side). Measure it to the center of the pedastal mounting bolt. This is your centerpoint. Also, double check the outer ends of the spoiler of each mounting bolt to see if they line up perfectly from each side of the trunk. Lightly mark placements on trunk. Place masking tape on the trunk where you're going to drill. Double check again to see if the spoiler mounting bolts line up. Now drill holes about 1/8" biggger than the bolt thickness so that the mounting bolts fall straight thru. This will give you some slight play, if your centering is off. Before mounting final assembly, apply strong 3M double sided tape on outer pedestals of spoiler so that it mounts properly. You're done.
