Default 17' 200t Spoiler Template

So I just got my new (to me) 2017 IS 200t. However, it didn't come with the factory spoiler. Just bought the OEM spoiler, but does anyone have a template to sell for installation?.. $60 seems steep for a new spoiler template.

I'm located in the I.E. in Southern California.

just buy some 3m double-sided automotive tape and stick it on. don't drill holes - they aren't necessary to keep the spoiler on.

Good advice, I did the same with no issues. I bought an aftermarket oem-style and removed the studs, added high quality 3M mounting tape then marked the correct location with a yellow wax pencil before pressing it on.

Personally I'd spend the $60 and drill the holes for confidence and peace of mind. I'd want it super rigidly attached, car washes, wind, etc. Post some pictures after you are done!

So I finally got a chance to get this done. Thanks for the advice guys. I decided to buy the template and drill into my car. Whole process only took about 1.5hrs while watching some NFL. It was relatively easy, just be smart, careful and attentive to detail when drilling. It came out looking great. 👌.. Let me know if you guys have any questions..

Do you mind sharing/messaging the link? Looking for a replacement after my CF spoiler got shredded from the sun.
