Default Just Installed My Spoiler

For anbody thinking about it, it's not to difficult. I got it at Grapevine Lexus for $209.95. I also bought one of the custom fit sunshades for $29.95. It fits pretty well.

Same here. Using that center punch was the hardest thing about the whole install (next was actually drilling holes in the trunk). I think the $$$'s saved on the install make up for the anxiety you feel.

How hard was the install? do you need some technical experience to pull it off?

No, It comes with very detailed instructions. The template fits very well. The main tools you need are a need a punch, 10MM socket, swivel, masking tape, and a couple of drill bits. Just take ur time and it will go well. I used a set of calipers and got mine centered within a few 1000"s of an inch.
