Default Adding body parts

Hey guys i just got a spoiler for my car and was wondering if there is anything extra I should do or anything to look for when having it installed. This will be my first body part addon so I don't want anything to go wrong.

Plan of action:
Pay a body shop to paint it and put it on.

It's just that easy right?

Usually that easy. Which wing is it? Most require you to have holes drilled through the decklid. Then they bolt on.

There are a couple that use just double sided tape, but not many.

...and the OEM piece comes painted, so that's not a problem.

you may want to upgrade to the stronger trunk springs although its not necessary...

esp with the feels wing, you want to make sure that the gap from fender to the wing is equal on both sides
