Default oem high level spoiler install

After purchasing the high level oem spoiler from a fellow member, getting it resprayed to the correct colour I now have the task of fitting it. I have read relating threads and the web so i know what to do. my question is has anyone else fitted one? I want to replace the washers circled in purple on the pic. what would be the best replacement? also i want to use double sided tape in the areas marked in blue. in addition to the bolts, there was a foamy substance covering the inside area which has been removed as it was falling off so i think padded double sided tape would be best as the inside is recessed. Any tips or advice would be appreciated...Thanks

Ok I thought they were just a thin rubber washer looks like I will be better off just leaving them

Probably be useful getting the installation instruction manual from Honda.

This was an accessory you could buy from the dealer. Most dealers in their computer have the instruction manual for this part. It will tell you all you need to know. Call around, and make sure they understand you are talking about the rear wing, not the rear spoiler.

The manual might be on the web also. Do a google search. Find out the exact name that Honda called this, you know how they give things weird names sometimes.

Any hardware store here in the states usually has lots of Orings. There are also many, many online sellers of things like o rings.
