i believe the holes i circled in red are the correct ones... the ones in black incorrect
correct me if i am wrong
<u>timeline</u>

1) came spoilerless w/ no 3rd brakelight (billion holes on trunk and quarter panel) weight reduction
2) put on 3 piece for 3rd brakelight
3)took off 3 piece because i have acquired a 3rd brake light
4) awaiting to put on itr spoiler
5) also my battery died, whats a good place to change/get a battery w/o bS in fremont/unioncity/newark region
(never had to change battery, thanks)






is there suppose to be that much of a distance between spoiler sitting position and end of trunk? yes i know there is suppose to be a distance but i do not know how far it is legitimately




i have more holes on the quarterpanel as well...

i have more holes on the quarterpanel as well...

how it currently sits

 

there is a little bit of a gap between the back of the spoiler and the end of the hatch. This is because the spoiler design puts the top of it hanging over the trunk just a tad.

I'd suggest measuring (nd then mirroring to the other side of the trunk) from the holes you showed in this picture:

yea the other side has holes lined up differently so im gonna need to do some hole drilling as shown on the first few pics (correct me if im wrong on those red circled spots i have to drill out)

(still dunno a place to do a battery deal)

 

If you buy a battery from Advanced Auto or Autozone, usually they'll install it for free.

Its almost impossible to tell from the pictures where you need to drill exactly. Just take a simple ruler and measure exact dimesions from a point of reference and you'll be fine.

I think its the black ones. The red ones are for the wires on the stock spoiler. I might be wrong though.

 

i tried eyeing it the screws from the itr won't match the ones i circled in black, they are too far apart

any others chim in?

ill check autozone for battery soon, it died

Regarding the battery, just buy one and swap it. It takes about 15 minutes total.

For the spoiler, the stock bolt spacing is just about 1 7/8". The red ones seem to be correct. The outer ones that penetrate the sealant are mystery holes.

 

^ yes a straight answer, thanks ill have those drilled out and the mystery holes were actually made for the 3 piece

it worked i drilled the red holes and got it fitting well
