Default Carbon fiber and spoiler?

Im thinking about getting a carbon fiber trunk for my hatchback but my car has the wrap around spoiler. Is it possible to take off the spoiler from trunk and put it on the carbon fiber trunk? Is it safe to drill into carbon fiber?

Perfectly safe. Be sure to use a fender (large diameter) washer on the inner nuts just to give it more holding strength.

Yes it is safe, depending on how it mounts, if screws, you might want to make a pilot hole. Ive seen alot of people drill into carbon, and create small cracks, which may or may not be covered up by the item you are installing onto your carbon fiber.

Exactly. Take your time and do a good clean job so you're not kicking yourself later.
