Anybody have tips/tricks/etc for lining it up and installing it correctly?
-Dry fit it / Measure distance on each end to ensure it's square. (I tend to dry fit it and then run my fingers along the lip on the back side to feel for any differences in distances)

-Use painters tape make an outline for where you want it lay

-Practice using the bottom lips of the spoiler to roll the spoiler on the the trunk (Worked best during a dry run)

-Pull the tape

-Lightly fit the spoiler on

-If you do it gently enough you will be able to pull back to re-lay it with the tape exposed. If not you may have to re-tape.

-Use some painters tape to hold it down once in place overnight.

-Enjoy.
