Does it come with supplied plastic guides?

Anyway, I just made your life easier

THIS IS HOW YOU INSTALL A TRUNK SPOILER

^ it's for Honda but you get the Template part.

Here, just to prove my point:

1. Make a template from your 97 spoiler.
2. Once the template is done, pre-install/allign the spoiler on the trunk with the template on the spoiler.
3. While the spoiler on the trunk ( with the template under the spoiler facing the surface of the trunk ) , tape the template into the trunk.
4. you can now drill holes.
5. install spoiler and wirings for LED ( if equipped)
6. Drive you Soarer and see the difference on downforce. JK.


I hope my directions is not confusing, just trying to give you an idea.

I know when i took it off i had to remove the carpet to get to the hole where the bolts were. they were openings in the bracing of the trunk. Definitely make sure you drill the holes in the right places
