your making more work then you have to bro, just plug the old holes and 3m the spoiler on I have 3 holes also but the second that big spoiler sits it covers everything.

easier said than done. I had the oem spoiler on their prior, no holes drilled. maybe it was just bad installation on my part but I double sided taped it, heated the trunk and even put on some epoxy. After a few weeks and then driving in the rain, the thing flew off. I WANT TO BE 100% sure this thing is on there, and nothing is more assurance than knowing that it's DRILLED into the trunk. I realize i'm making more work but safe than sorry.

The job is more work than putting on 3M, but it's also LESS work than molding it on right?

check craigslist, check ebay. Several friends of mine sell authentic and replica parts. I asked around and found a friend of a friend selling it for a price that had me up at 7am on a Sunday to pick it up. lol

Trust me. If it flew off on you, you are definitely doing something wrong. My rear GFX lip is held on by just double-sided tape with no glue for 5 years and it's still holding strong.

how is the fitment on the poly version of wald? I have fiberglass that I am absolutely hating because of the waves. I'm worried about fitment because I also bought the wald front lip spoiler and its half inch short from the side...hopefully heat gun will help

FYI: Beware of Carking...he has no warranty on his stuff even though he said it has a warranty it doesn't
