I installed the Carbon Fiber spoiler today

[gregbutler_20]

I purchased my accessories from AllDiscountParts.com and installed them myself today.
Black Type-S emblems
Front and Rear Black A emblems
Carbon Fiber Spoiler
Type-s All season mats
Seat back protectors
Type-s trunk Tray.
Took about 4 hours for everything Except the front A. (waiting to do that when I install PRL intercooler so I only have to remove bumper once..)
I was a little apprehensive about drilling the holes in the trunk, but it was not bad at all, and I am glad I didn't pay the ridiculous amount the dealership quoted.

notes to anyone doing this themselves..
Dropped the clips twice into the hatch frame. grommets near the hinges can be removed to fish them out since you can't turn the car upside down.
Front Type-s emblem on the grill has POSTs in it so had to heat it carefully as to not melt grill and the gently pried it off.

How did you drill the holes for the spoiler? Did you step up from one metric bit to the next size (3,6,8,12) or did you just drill a pilot hole and then just use the step drill bit to widen all the way through. It looked like the guys at ach garage used the latter.

I bought this step drill set from amazon and used the 4,6,8,10,12 bit.. took about 10 seconds to drill to 12 for each hole.. no pilot hole needed.

Great job! Your car looks great with those upgrades. I just got my spoiler recently but have not installed it. I know that most of these OEM parts doesn't come with the installation instructions? Do you remember where you got yours from? I have searched all over the web and haven't been able to find them anywhere. If you have a pdf file or URL that you can share that would be great!

My oem spoiler came with instructions in the box, and a template for the holes. It did not come with instructions on how to remove the interior trim, but that's easy enough. Two bolts under the hatch mesh arms and then just yank on the plastic bits. I recommend spare green clips whenever working on interior parts of this car. Technically they're reusable, but they snap and wear easily, so best to replace them to prevent noises later.

seeing this a little late..
here is a link from acurazine that has all oem add on install guides.

Once I clipped everything back in, I noticed the plastic clip-in rear hatch handles were slightly loose, so I add a small about of double-sided foam tape to the inside lip and now nice and tight no rattles..
