Angry Rear deck spolier installation help...

Unfortunately here in Korea the new GS does NOT come with the spolier nor is it an option. I just bought one in the US and am about to install it. I expected it to be installed using adhesive tapes, but there are actually 4 screws/bolts to attach it to the rear deck. According to instructions, I have to drill 5 holes on the deck, make sure I remove all debrie (manual says it could cause rusting), file the holes, and treat it with rust inhibitors before I attach the spoiler.

Anyone do this installation? Was going to take it to the dealer here in Korea but since they hadn't done an installation either, not sure I trust them.

I'm very hesistant to drill holes on my car for the spoiler, any workaround? Maybe I can cut off the attached bolts and use strong 3M tape to attach it instead?

Thanks in advance...

Not much help here.. Only thing I could think of would be to use some REALLY REALLY strong magnets!

As for the tape, I think it would last for about the first time you accellerated or were in a strong wind.. You'd be surprised at how windy things get back there ..
