Attach R1/R2 wing without drilling?

I've never done any body work before, and I was wondering if there's some type of adhesive that I can use to mount an R1/R2 wing. I've got a base FD, and I'd like to keep the trunk hatch intact if I could.

Thanks in advance

I'm pretty sure you have to drill. Don't think double side tape or other adhesives will hold it on at high speeds, but not positive.

If I did have to drill, can the holes ever be filled back in? Or would I have to just buy a new hatch if I decided to go wingless? Sorry about the noob questions, I know absolutely nothing about body work, and the searches i performed didn't yield any answers.

Holes

You don't have to replace the back hatch. Any good body shop can patch the holes and repaint to match. I just had my car repainted. I had them remove the wing and fill and paint where the holes were in the back hatch. You can't tell there were ever any wholes there. Hope that helps.
