Installing Factory Spoiler

Im scared to drill the holes in the trunk myself. It seems pretty easy but its like needles to my eyes. I called and a local reliable shop said its 130 to install. Is that good? Its around 150 for me to buy the spoiler itself.

thats not bad.
I paid 80, which was the cheapest price around, w/ bargaining, but they did a crappy job. It rattles when i close my trunk.
so 130 isnt bad for a good job.

as long as you have someone else there to help with the original alignment, it's a fairly easy DIY...

It's actually really simple, as long as you triple check everything before drilling, youll be fine.

Me and a buddy charged my co-worker $25 to install one on his Taurus lol

The spoiler should come with what is needed to attach it to the trunk......washers,screws and I think 3M tape on the underside of the spoiler.

The one your getting is it already painted DPW (051) or is your shop gonna include that when you install it from them ?

$130 for install isn't badd.....I dunno how much the stock spoiler goes for but I say $150 is a good price for the OEM spoiler....just make sure your not getting a aftermarket OEM knockoff.
