I already tried search, can you all help me?
 
I have an 87 TII that for some reason, never came with the spoiler. I got the spoiler off of ebay (it's even the right color! whoo hoo!) but I need to know if you guys have any tips for mounting it. I know I need to drill, and probably yank out the back interior of the car, but what else do I need to do? Are there special mounting brackets I need? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Nope, just drill..

Remember that the front location on each side is a screw, not a bolt, so make the hole small and screw it down. Or replace with a bolt/nut.

Find nuts for the spoiler, if you don't have them already, BEFORE drilling your holes :) That way you don't get stuck with holes but no spoiler :)

measure twice, drill once. :D

Best advice I can give....

Be sure to paint the edges of the drilled holes with rust inhibiting paint, and seal the screws with silicone cauking so you don't get leaks.

BTW: the 87 T2 didn't come with a rear spoiler from the factory.

Mazda didn't add that feature until 88

Thanks for all the help guys... I will post pics when it's done.

making a templet out of cardboard could make things easier.

MY 87 TII had no spoiler. I like it that way.
