My Spoiler is sitting on a shelf because I'm too scared to drill into my trunk.

Guys, just use 3m tape. It will not come off. The right model 3m tape is designed specifically for these applications.

Sorry if this is a stupid question. If you decide on using 3M double-sided tape, aren't there 2 bolts(the outer ones) that are pre-installed on the spoiler itself, do these come off?
I can't really tell from these pics or the install guide.

Thanks in advance. I'll be looking to pick up this spoiler as well for my S sometime this winter and I'd also prefer not to drill and just 3M tape it.

On the OEM spoiler you just unscrew the bracket that has the bolts.

Thanks for the info. Good to know, still up in the air on whether to do the 3M tape or just do the outer 2 bolts and call it a day.

I just put an aftermarket on and posted pictures in another thread titled "Ebay OEM Rear Spoiler" but to answer your question there are
nuts one on each side embedded into the spoiler and after you drill the marked holes that are under your trunk lid you attach spoiler with bolts....I did not want to drill the holes so I just used the 3m tape that is on the spoiler and added some extra tape to certain areas, it looks great, color was perfect match and was only $98.00 with free shipping.....got it in 8 days....
