Message Here are my hints:

1) Removing the old spoiler is easy if you soak the adhesive with WD-40 (yeah, I know, but it works)... Then, use a fishing wire and begin running it along the edge on the side and work your way back...for areas you cannot get off with the fishing wire, use shims and plastic paint scraper to push sections of it up...came of in 2 minutes...

2) Make sure you clean ALL the goopy adhesive crap...that will be very time consuming...

3) once the surfaces are clear, clean it very very well with a paint degreaser

4) Apply the 3m Adhesive tape (can be bought at any Auto paint store, usually used for mouldings)... Here is a trick...cut some of the tape off while keeping the backing longer so you basically have a tab of extra backing sticking out further than the adhesive. Bend this backing over so it will stick out of the spoiler when you are ready to install it....this way you can just pull the backing out while the spoiler is pretty much mocked into the right position...

5) Take your time fitting the spoiler...what I did was tape it into place first...Then I pushed the sides down till they lined up... Holding the sides in place, I put a couple set screws from the inside to hold them where I wanted them...

6) After you get the sides down, push and tug on the spoiler to get the rest of it to line up, and once you do, just pull those tabs out the expose the adhesive...press the adhesive down, and you are all set...

Hope this helps...
