hello
my daughter bought a rear wing of a gt i believe, see pic below. how can i install it so its perfect
i have seen before a some brand new wings come with a piece paper you put down on the trunk and you drill the holes which are marked on it, but we dont have that.

What I would do is measure the mounting points, transfer that to the deck. Lay down some masking tape so not to scratch the decklid. The back of the wing sticks out 1/4". past the decklid. Put the wing on the masking tape, center the wing side to side then trace around the studs, then drill.
I made the assumption you got the wing with the studs

These should help......

My guess is the holes are oversize to allow the spoiler to be adjsuted left to right a little bit and account for manufacturing differences in the spoilers.

Right side of trunk lid, stud is 15.5mm from left of opening to center

Left side of trunk lid, stud is 16.5mm from left of opening to center

Both right & left side are 17mm up from bottom of opening to center of stud

Studs are 47mm center to center

^^^In addition to these measurements.^^^

Get yourself some heavy brown paper (comes in rolls - like gift wrapping) & make your own template. Align up, according to these measurements & trunk portals, measure, re-measure & measure again (for good measure). Then drill away.

Also, another option if you're too nervous, take car/fin to body shop & have them mount. :D

This is what I did with mine. I had them paint, assemble, and install my wing. I just couldn't see myself drilling in my nice truck lid.
