looks good!...this is the style spoiler i was referring to (though not carbon)...does anyone have pics though of the outer studs on the OEM spoiler?...i want to know if they're easily removable???

I don't have a pic, just that with the OEM, you can unscrew the bracket and I leave the 2 screws firmly screwed into the OEM holes and put the brackets away til later if needed. So my OEM screws are safely left in the spoiler, this way won't lose them.
hope this helps.

Tape is not going to hold and you don't want it to come off and hit someone. If you don't want to drill holes in you trunk lid just get a used one from a junk yard.

I had a mugen replica trunk spoiler installed with 3m tape on my old tl. I have gone 130+ with it and not a single movement, its actually pretty hard to take off as I am trying to take it off to sell it. lol
