The wing is installed with a combination of studs w/ 10mm bolts, screws and plastic fasteners.

If the studs on the wing are in good shape, then you should be able to make a template with some paper (home depot masking paper works good) to note the location of the holes you will need to drill.

You may also want to take a punch to note the location of the holes on the body to help keep the drill from walking all over the paint. Use a smaller bit, then gradually increase the diameter. This will also help save the paint around the hole.

Some high quality double sided tape should suffice for attaching the other mounting point for the wing. Perhaps some other forum members have some recommendation on what type of tape to use.

Both sides of the wing have studs and I didn't use the plastic pieces (nuts/fasteners) that came with it.., the center pieces are annoying if they're in bad shape, you can just Super Glue them

Make sure they're nicely snug or they'll rattle..

just set the wing on the car and line it up, take a sharpie and mark where the studs are, take a punch to make a small indentation/hole and then drill them out. its not really that hard
