Default oem rear spoiler install - need help

Anyone in the Baltimore area want to make a few quick bucks and help me install a new oem rear spoiler, or can anyone recommend a reasonably priced body shop with some experience to help me.

The dealer wants like $130, but I don't trust myself to do it, despite some great posts here with step by step instructions. Never drilled a hole in a car before.

I'll bring the beer too.

I'd love to install your rear spoiler and I would do it for FREE. It would be my pleasure to help out a fellow S2000 owner. Installing the rear spoiler is pretty simple, but you gotta take your time and make SURE you have the spoiler properly aligned. I've seen soooo many S2000 rear spoilers (installed by dealers) that are a bit crooked and/or uneven. You gitt amake sure to have about an 1/8 of an inch of space on either side.

I'm all the way in New Bern, but will be in Richmond on the 23rd of August for our Group Brake Day. If you wanted to make the drive to watch some awesome modifications of our brake systems AND have your spoiler installed, just let me know. I have all the tools as I installed mine myself.

In fact, check out my thread from a while back.

what color is your car? i have a sebring with a factory rear spoiler on the back, i was thinking about upgrading to a aftermarket wing. if you have the same color i'm willing to just switch trunks with you, for little to no cash thing is my window of opertunity is slim. PM me as soon as possible if you want to do this.

Thanks for the generous offers guys. I'm gonna see what kind of damage I can do this weekend, I may be back posting shortly thereafter.

Airgate, one follow up question to my pm, doesn't the wing sort'a self align when you put the 2 bolts in the outside, the ones that go in the 2 pre-existing indentations (that I am supposed to drill out). What I'm asking is when I drill those 2 holes, won't the oem wing just pop into those holes and presto, perfect alignment??
