Here are pics of the two broken off screws on the very edges of the wings' tips.
Here's pics of the car without the spoiler....
Here's pics of the car with the spoiler...um, heh...."placed on the car" haha....
And here's the other holes on the wing....
Question is...what is the best recommended way to do this...it looks relatively easy...hell I already got like 12 holes in the car's hatch rite now...haha fak it if i gotta make a few more...hahahahah
Can I start new holes in the spoiler with a drill? Or should I try to avoid that and use the holes already there on the wing...reason I ask is because over half of the holes are stripped on the wing. I want to do this right the first time, so lemme know guys.... thanks.
I am going to use 3M double-sticky tape, and prolly some wood screws or sheetmetal screws and slowly drill through trunk first, then into wing. OR, someone suggested "molley" anchor bolts like they use in walls or sheetrock.....interesting. Any ideas lemme know...I got all day friday and tonight to think about this for the weekend. If this is too much trouble lemme know. I'd rather save up a good month or two and get a shop to do it then if it's that big of a deal. thanks.

broken screws and ish?!!?! what did ya do mikee? jack that bish?!? j/k i'd wait and have a shop do it as well as fill in the holes. last thing you need is for that bish to fly off like supaman while going down the highway. to have all that ish done shouldn't cost more than 500 dollahs.

Im getting that same wing from a buddy, this weekend. I cant remember for sure but I think that he only had 4 screws total. I dont think that you need the ones on the end. As long has you use some tape and the other 4 I dont think that its coming off. Hope this helps.

thanks tenzo...i'll keep that in mind.
chris..haha actually, i have reason to beleive the wing WAS jacked, duuuggg, no kiddin. To protect the identity of the seller, let's just say that I was informed some very interesting history of the wing.
I don't think it will be that hard. Imma go to my parents house sat day and use pop's drill and buy some 3M tape. *crosses fingers.
ya, I did say that I wanted the biggest, baddest, ricest wing out there.... look at me! i can fly ! (well, not yet, anyways)

Hey what's wrong with that wing...I like it....BTW there are only 4 screws, I tried to install it myself and was like HELL NO!! it's only because I'm mechanically inclined...Got it painted and installed for 60 buckeroos
