TRD Spoiler Installed
Installed on the weekend!
Drilling holes into a new car. Fuuuuuu  Now I can breathe. The holes were painted and treated prior to installing. Only two required as per template, rest is stuck on.  Seals run right around the lip and create a very firm seal, so getting it right takes a lot of patience and longer than you think. I recommend the small cost of installation to do it with a pro, nothing would be worse than skimping out and sticking it even a half mil off centre.  The rubber seal that runs around the TRD lip is perfect, washed car the next day and no water seems to be under the spoiler (vigorous boot shake test).  Special thanks to @giraffee for arranging the group buy and going out of her way to get this in (darling points x10) and JesseStreeter for cheap & fast shipping and handling. Installed down at Bodyform, a number of mates reccomended him and I can't reccomend his attention to detail and pride for his work enough.

At first when I saw the picture with the holes, I was like... O___O" !!
But then I saw the picture with the gorgeous TRD spoiler on dat a55, I was then like... O v O Very nicely done, very well worth the drilling I would say!
