Step 1Using panel puller remove any trim-panels from underside of decklid. It is recommended to cover or remove any carpeted trunk mats or other items in trunk area to avoid damage.Step 2Place plastic T-strips into mounting holes on spoiler. A small piece of masking tape is helpful in holding T-strip in position.Step 3Place spoiler on closed decklid and align to proper position. A measuring tape will ensure a "perfect" alignment. Step 4Using masking tape, secure T-strips to decklid of vehicle. Remove spoiler by lifting straight up, leaving T-strips secured to decklid. Step 5Using a 1/8" drill bit, drill thru the T-strip hole and into the decklid. Remove T-strips from vehicle. If decklid contains a "double panel" Drill through inner panel also. Using a 5/16" drill bit, drill thru the 1/8" hole in step 4. Step 6If a "double panel" exists, use a 3/4" drill bit to drill thru the "inner panel". This allows the ratchet or nutdriver to secure the screw tightly against the upper panel.Step 7Place spoiler on decklid and using supplied screws and ratchet or nutdriver secure spoiler to vehicle. Step 8When installing spoilers with a L.E.D. brake light it is recommended to splice into the 3rd brake light in the vehicle and attach spoiler wires using electrical tape. Apply small amounts of silicone based caulk over spoiler screws as this will help prevent leakage, rusting, or loosening of screws. Step 9Reinstall any panels, mats or other items removed earlier in installation as noted in step 1.ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONSInstall light by removing plastic backing on light, exposing adhesive tape. Firmly press light into groove. Remove wax paper backing on neosponge gaskets, exposing the sticky adhesive. Firmly press gaskets to bottom of spoiler stanchions. Make sure gaskets are centered correctly on stanchions.PAINT INSTRUCTIONS Inspect spoiler for imperfections. If filling is required use a catalyzed body filler. If a catalyzed body-filler is used, be sure to prime over spot. Sand spoiler with a 400 grit (or finer) wet sand paper until surface is smooth. Apply basecoat/clearcoat finish of your choice. NOTE:This spoiler has been coated with a catalyzed primer/sealer. Unless additional filling has been done, no primer is required. CAUTION:Do not fill, cover or obstruct vent holes in the bottom of the spoiler. These holes are essential for proper ventilation of fiberglass fumes. IMPORTANT: Please inspect your spoiler for proper fit before painting or mounting. Parts which have been sanded, painted, drilled or modified cannot be returned.
