Rear Wing Spoilers - Easy To Follow Installation Tips

Adding a wing spoiler to your ride is an excellent way to add pleasing aesthetics.  It also helps with the aerodynamics of your ride.  A spoiler works in two ways.  First, it provides down force for the rear of the vehicle, something very important, especially for rear-wheel drive vehicles.  Second, it diffuses the airflow across the back half of the car, helping to eliminate turbulence coming off the back of your ride.

Installing these babies can be tricky.  Be prepared to drill through your precious trunk lid in order to secure the spoiler in place. The first step is to purchase a spoiler made specifically for your ride; this will help eliminate some problems.  You'll find several types of wing spoiler available, including aluminum, carbon fiber, fiberglass, paintable spoilers and more.

Your spoiler will arrive in a kit, which should include a template. First, cut out the correct bolt hole locations on the template, then position the template across your trunk lid.  Now, it's time to mark the locations; use a permanent marker, chalk or something else that will show up against the paint of your car.

Use a step drill bit to create holes of the proper size.  Most spoilers will require four holes for mounting, while others will need more.  Once the holes are drilled, carefully blow away any debris.  Use compressed air if possible, to avoid scratching the finish on your trunk lid.

Before you drop the spoiler in, make sure you have all grommets in the correct position to help avoid water leaks later.  Drop in the spoiler (gently) and tighten all nuts by hand.  Once all the nuts are in position, begin tightening them with a wrench or socket, using an alternating pattern until all nuts are tight.  Make sure the spoiler is stable (this can include adjusting any moveable legs, etc).  You're now ready to hit the road!
