I bought the lip OEM trunk spoiler.

It'll be easy to install correct? Everything I need comes with it, correct?

I got the OEM installed in a bodyshop because it needs some drilling. Don't recommend doing it on your own

My friend's dad will be installing the spoiler. The drilling etc... is not the problem. I just want to make sure the spoiler comes with everything. I do not want to have to order anything else.

Wouldn't the chemicals from car washes eventually eat away thee 3m tape? I always wondered how it would stay on so long.

What my friend did was remove the screws and just use the existing double sided tape to install it. So far *knock on wood* it hasn't fallen off yet. I doubt it will.

If you do go this route then make sure u use soap and water so that the surface is wet so that you can adjust the spoiler lip before pressing it down. My friend was too happy when he got home and just stuck it on... its a lil crooked and 1 area has a slight area where it isn't flush with the trunk.

if you plan to drill it, make sure you seal the holes to prevent rusting.....
