IS Decklid Spoiler Installation Template

[blackhawkimpact]

If this is true, then I must be insanely stupid to have not seen them. Care to point out with a picture or two?

I would but I already drilled out the holes. All decklids I've seen at the junkyard are predrilled. I'll take a pic next time I go.

Trunk lids are predrilled underneath, covered in silicone or something. Took me 2 minutes to drill and install the lip. No leaks neither

so there is an imprint of where to drill on the sheet metal itself? what's the point of the template

Well I may have spoke incorrectly. I had a bad experience installing my first spoiler and it leaked horribly. Found a perfect match color wise on ebay and the seller told me this when I said I would have bought it if it had the holes for the spoiler.He said he could drill them for me and they were all marked underneath.My old lid was too routed out to check. Sorry for any confusion.

Really? what about 84-85 model year trunks?

wondering about this too. i looked at mine and didnt see any markings..

Just some FYI, all trunk lids are factory marked underneath for OEM spoilers...all you have to do is drill baby drill!

Yeah the strength is definitely not an issue. The only thing I wonder about is how it actually holds up to weather over time. Make sure you get the outdoor kind too.

cool, i already ground off all the studs, and sprayed clear over them so they wont rust.
painting it tomorrow and using 3m double sided foam tape.
haha yeah i know how the tape works so ill be sure and line it up perfect before it touches. just wasnt sure of its strength for a piece such as this.

The spoiler I picked up from the yard only had the 2 end bolts on it, so I figured I'd use 3M double-sided tape for the middle section. I forgot how ridiculously strong that tape is because the first time I tried to put the spoiler on, after applying the tape, I lined it up wrong and getting it back off was a bitch. The tape will work and it will last until the end of fucking time, but make sure you're not retarded like me.

I was in the same boat. I had an 89 325i and I just used the numbers and went at it. I had to make some holes slightly bigger and tap it on but it installed and looked great :)
