theres 4 black plugs on the underside of your hatch unplug those and u have to drill the holes through the deck lid......let a body shop do it you can really mess up you body causing rust

i guess you could but its pretty dificult getn the holes lined up. u really wanna drill the smallest holes possible

I would think that so long as the spoiler has some kind of grommet on the ends you should be fine, but you can take some preventative measures to prevent rust. Like painting the holes you've drilled. Just make sure to mask everything else off.
Measure twice and drill once!
Good luck!

But if the wholes are only big enough to fit the studs and they're a little off then the stress on the spoiler can eventually cause it to crack, which is what happened when I put the supra spoiler on my 84 Celica.
