I would be glad to help. I am in the Valencia area though, so I don't know how far you are from me. I have the same trunk, but I hae an adjustable Carbon GT style wing on it. I am not sure that there is trick to it other than being really patient. You could make a template based on the holes in the factory trunk. I have one in my garade if you need it. PM me if you need any help.

VIS told me they do not recommand people putting a spoiler on to the trunk. If one was to put a spoiler onto the trunk they highly recommand using reinforcements to bolt on the spoiler, not letting the spoiler bolt straight on to the trunk.

VIS have not tested the Trunk w/ Spoilers.

I was looking into this when a group buy was offered / I called and asked about prformance qualities and this was the response. You can find this conversation in the past forrums under vender classifieds. Good luck...

Sorry for not being clear. I have a trunk we can use to make a template. I never actually created a template as I use a totally different wing.

On a side note, I have heard that thing about wings using reinforcements. I am actually bolted down to the trunk inself and have no problems..... thus far, lol.

NOTE:

this is very important!! VIS did not test these trunks w/ the wing! They do not recommand you to put wing on! If you are planning to put on the wing, they highly recommand you to reinforce the trunk! if you dont do this, becareful!!!!
