Here is the Installation for all OEM spoilers (Front/Rear)
Front spoiler
Rear Spolier
The Front looks like a peice of cake. The rear looks like you have to "Drill" through the trunk.

Good Luck.

Question- Does the OEM rear spoiler come with an adhesive/gasket on it?

I ask because I have the OEM spoiler and had to have my car repainted due to hail damage. Now, the lip of the spoiler (closest to the rear windshield) does not seal against the trunk lid. I see a rubber gasket beneath it and I remember that before it was painted, this gasket seemed to sit tight against the trunk and kept debri out from under it. Now, I could slide a piece of paper under it.

If the OEM spoiler has a gasket with adhesive on it, it appears as though the paintshop just pried mine off with dental floss or what-not and didn't replace the gasket- putting the one they unsealed back on it. One more thing in the growing list of unprofessional things this shop did to my car.
