Can I install OEM spoiler myself?

I can get an OEM spoiler from Nissan dealer for $226(plus $24 for 3rd brake light cover). I have $200 credit there. But they want to charge $225 for installation
Do you think I can install it myself? Has anybody done it?
Are there any templates provided?


Thanks.

Im pretty sure you could do it yourself...youll need the install hardware but all there is to it is drilling a couple holes, making sure the spoiler is positioned right, and tightening some bolts right?? the wiring shouldnt be too difficult either....

you can definitely do it yourself, a spare set of hands would be helpful

If you can't have a professional do it cheaper, I would say pay the $225. Consider what could happen if something goes wrong. I don't think it'll be worth it.

spoiler

I just installed one last month very easy job.
Normally it's hold by 4 screw 2 in the middle and 1 hole each side
You will need to remove the 2 rubber plug and also with the spoiler they have template to guide you to locate the holes.
The wire for the light is already there.

You can save yourself $24 on the brake light cover and just take out the bulb....just a thought
