i said i would post some pics after i did this only one problem, someone(i assume the previous owner) has already been there and taking care of it. besides a little dirt, there is no rust and it looks good

I did this a couple weeks ago. Mine wasn't too bad. There was a bit of paint scraped away around the holes but there was no rust at all. Some touchup paint and I was good to go.

To make the spoiler sit higher could I double stack the washers?

absolutely... u can stack as many as u wish, or find another item that would be wider than the washers... as long as the bolts can thread into the spoiler then u can raise it as high as u want!!!

Today I clean under the spoiler wasn't too bad but there was a lot of pine neddles and dirt but i didnt realize the bolts and the nuts stayed together and about the double washer thing i asked on 4-30 it didnt work the bolts wouldnt thread. it still looks stock but water slides through easlier. thanks for the write up, oh yah you think its alright if i didnt use silicon all i did was un screw the bolts/nuts took off the spoiler washed/waxed took some clear tape off cleaned out the holes put the hose washers over the holes on top of the trunk then put the bolts/nuts in sound good?

i would def pull the spoiler and silicone, or at least silicone it from under the trunk lid (inside the trunk) just silicone the bolts well to the trunk lid, otherwise u will prolly end up with water in ur trunk

-Your sayin i should pop the trunk then silicone around the bolts and on the metal washer
-in the future would i be able to pull off the spoiler?
-does silicone do anything to the paint?

yea if u dont wanna take the spoiler back off, just silicone around the bolts and washer to seal that from water... yes u would be able to remove the spoiler later, the silicone will peel off... and it shouldnt hurt the paint when removing... it is kinda like peelin dried rubber cement from the little bottle it comes in.. if that makes sense
