Default AIT Racing spoiler EF8 instructions

I just bought an AIT Racing spoiler for my CRX. I did not came with any instructions or mounting brackets.
I was told it was a replica of the mugen spoiler i wanted and i noticed those came with brackets. Do i need brackets to? I looked but couldn't find any pics of this actual spoiler on an CRX or someone who wrote something about how to mount them properly.





I thought mounted it would look like this

your spoiler looks more like the Wings West Spoiler to me. here is mine mounted on my crx. the "Mugen" spoiler is supposed to sit flush with the hatch, not sit on top of it like the WW one does. or am i wrong?

it's indeed the spoiler like on the blue crx they sold it to me as a replica mugen spoiler but it's a whole different design. No wonder i got confused.
I just looked and apperently i have to drill 2 holes at each side and then just bolt it on.

Might throw this one up for sale again as i rather have the mugen style spoiler.

I'll post a pic of the factory Mugen clips and spoiler when I get a chance. We have been procrastinating installing the Mugen spoiler because it sat so long that now it isn't a 100% fitment and we are worried about having a oh **** type of moment.

The actual Mugen does not have to be drilled and is held in place with a clip on each end.
