Now wait a minute, I thought there were studs in an R-spoiler, and nuts to go with it.

There are.

Four to be exact and four corresponding holes in the rear hatch lid. Not five holes like the GSR.

There are four 10 mm bolts that hold it down.

Truth be known the double sided tape from the factory is strong as Hell and a bit of a bitch to remove. It may be able to hold the wing on but I wouldn't trust it in the long run.

When you do torque the bolts down don't Herc them, or you'll actually bend and damage the holes on the hatch itself. Don't ask me how I know.


And just FYI, if you're looking for good double sided bonding tape, go to home depot, near the painting and masking tape is the 3M stuff, EXACTLY the same as what you'd find Extremely overpriced at AZ or similar auto parts store.
