You can drill holes of you want (instructions recommend doing so) but mine is held with the 3M tape that it came with plus some urethane paste to hold it down. No issues in 3 years and 100k kms with it coming off

Pics from today, not great but you get the idea. If you want close ups or different angles let me know.

So I ordered the spoiler from Japanparts, it just landed in LA so I should have it soon. Is there a specific urethane paste that is best or does it matter which one I use? Did you just put some along the edges or how did you do you?

Awesome, you're going to love it!

And yes, just some along the edges on the left and right side where most of the pressure is to stay on. The spoiler should come with 3M tape on it already so don't need to worry about the centre.

I don't think it matters what type to use, and I forget the exact kind I used. Sorry about that, but I can confirm I have had no issues of it falling off

No problem I'll look into a few of them!

Got the spoiler today and it looks great! How did you remove the bolts from the spoiler before you installed it?

And one more question for you, what are the black 3m stickers for? In the instructions it shows them going on the body under the spoiler.

Radical difference between the two colours. It would stand out like a beacon.

Sorry for the late reply bud - you've probably figured it all out by now, but there were a couple screws holding the bolts in, just take them out.

As for the black 3M squares, I'm guessing for the two ends as that is where the most pressure to come off will be. I honestly don't remember using those :p

Just remembered why I didn't use those - they are to cover your OEM spoiler drilled holes as the TRD one does not match up with those. If you do not have an OEM spoiler then you don't need those.

Got the spoiler fitted and it ooks great! I'll post pictures when I get a chance.

The bolts on the spoiler were encased in plastic and glued to the spoiler so I just cut them off and sanded down the edges. Applied some poly urethane to the spots were there was no double sided tape and it seems to be held firmly in place.
