8th generation rear lip spoiler template
Hi fellow members, I am trying to find installation instructions or a drilling template for the OEM civic sedan trunk lid spoiler that I believe came stock on the 2008-2010 models.
I have a 2006 and I picked up a used spoiler. (small lip style, not the wing)
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Im not really sure if it was an accessory at all, maybe just stock on certain years. Here is which one I am referring to.

If there are holes for the screws to go into, take a small piece of crayon ( you can remove this easily if it gets jammed into the hole) and put it into each screw hole you see, and make sure it protrudes from the hole. MAKE SURE YOU REMOVE THE TRUNK LID LINER BEFORE YOU DRILL! Place the spoiler onto the trunk lid as you would see it when it is mounted and give it a good amount of downward pressure to make the crayons mark their locations. Take another crayon and note the edges of the spoiler, top and bottom as well as the sides, this will locate the spoiler exactly if you have to redo the first step. Remove the spoiler and note the locations of the marks, then verify the screw holes are clear. Ensure they are clean as you will want to apply a small amount of Loc-tite blue thread locking compound to the screws when you fasten the spoiler down Drill the holes and de-burr the edges. Apply a small amount of silicone to the drilled hole edges ( to prevent rusting) and place the spoiler on the trunk ( after you pop the trunk of course!). Loc-tite your screws and tighten them down. You might want to find some nylon or fibre washers to prevent the screws from scratching the paint on the inside of the trunk lid. Replace the liner and you are done.
