Default Anyone ever install a Mid-Wing on their car?

My Dad and I tried doing mine today and its a bitch. You gotta take these stupid t-straps and put them on the spoiler and line it up then tape them down and then drill through their centers. Well the straps suck *** and never stay flush with the car. How can you do this easier or at least so I don't drill holes in my car and **** it up.

Why are they nasty? Did they rust up or something?

I got the cervini wrap around mid-wing. it takes 6 bolts. I removed everything from the hatch, wiper motor and all. use the t-straps to get it close. tape them down to the hatch when it's where you want it. start with a small drill bit and make a pilot hole through the metal. i then covered it with masking tape to keep the paint from chipping or cracking. then use the size drill bit needed for the hole. I had to slot them a little cause i didn't get them in just hte right place. take your time. I spent 3 hours on it. make sure it's even on both sides and at the right height.
here are some pics

Looks like you got the Si-R Wing and the Cervinis, same things I got. Yeah I will attempt to do this sooner or later it just seems like a bitch to do.
