I've read the tutorial in the how-to section.

However I'm slightly worried about drilling a hole in my trunk.

To the people who have actually done it:
How long does it take to drill the holes?
Do i need special bits?
Do i need a special driver?
How much force is needed?


Any tips or tricks would be appreciated.

 

-it takes about 10 seconds per hole, depending on how strong you are.
-the instructions should tell you the size bit you need
-the harder you push, the faster it will go.

don't worry. once you mark the spots you need to drill accurately, you should be fine

good luck

 

It did not come with instructions!

What size bit should I start with and then which sizes should i jump and work up to?

 

Here you go

just try out bits by putting them through the holes in the spoiler. go a little smaller at first, see if it'll fit, then go one size bigger if it doesn't fit.

hopefully it at least came with a template that helps you mark the spots to drill

you didn't say which spoiler you got, but when i got my authentic honda wing it came with instructions and the template. also, if you look at the underside of the trunk, it has some holes punched there. those are common spots where spoilers mount.

 

Since it sounds like you have limited experience with a drill I'd practice a bit on a block of wood so you can get familiar with the tool.

 

Always start with a small bit to ensure you get the center of the hole with minimal drifting. Then increase your bit size as needed.

Recommend you use a highpower electrical drill vice a battery operated low amp drill.

If you use a larger bit with not enough power, you will chew up your trunklid.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I droped the screws into the holes while installing it!!!!!

=( Do I have to take the freaking trunk off to get them out?

 

??

the holes you drill should go through to the other side, so anything you drop in should just be in the trunk

also be careful of the metal shavings on the trunk. blow them off or vaccuum them very carefully so that they don't scratch your paint.

 

The screw you have to install to the underside of the spoiler, I tried to do it while the trunk lid was up, and it fell though into the trunk lid. Inside the trunk lid.

After repeated slaming of the trunk lid they eventually bounced out.
