How hard is it to install an aluminum spoiler?  If anyone has done it can you explain?  I dont just wanna start drilling holes in my hatch haha.. thanks.

Well I am assuming it didnt come with instructions.  You will need self tappiong screws and a drill...which you probably already have.  Look at the underside of the hatch.  Can you take the plastic guard off the underside..if there is one.  If you can take that off, see where you can drill holes trough.  Probably best through think metal areas.  

Trial and error my friend...trial and error.  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/hehe.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':hehe:'>

I dunno if you are making fun of him for an aluminum spoiler or if you are retarded....

And yeah, they usually come with a kit for mounting and proper drilling, including some little mounts you put on your car and drill through to prevent errors. If you didn't get one, you could always ask why not. and other than that I would do some carefull measuring, and make sure everything is as it should be beforey ou put holes in your car.

Im not really one to bach people for their opinions, so im just saying my opinion on this.  Please god don't put a huge aluminum spoiler unless you are a serious racer and need the downforce. they look so damn gay.
thanks

I saw something the other day that made me laugh.  It was a pontiac sunfire.  They had bought one of those huge high aluminum spoilers and put it on the slanted backend, so it was at an angle, they just made thier own holes and drilled it straight onto the trunk with some quarter inch galvanized screws.  They also did the same thing with the front bumper.  They probably paid 400-500 for the bumper and just drilled it on with some more screws.  Oh, and not to mention, the guy that owns this car also owns an "import performance" store.  Yup, he sure knows what he's doing.

Thats like this gay store were i live the guys drive a Neon, a ford probe, and a Focus, and some other Domestic cars but they have stickes all over them that says "Import Racer". they all have aluminum wings and Euro lights and they are all slow and have their farting exhaust..

well, i personally kinda like the aluminum spoilers, but only on certain cars, the 240sx being one of them. on most cars they just look ridiculous, and are obviously only there because someone's going for "the look". for instance, when i went to Nopi, i saw a Saturn 4-door with an 18" tall one on it... made me want to vomit, right there. i don't much care for the tall ones, i was thinking about a small, say 2-3" tall one for mine... might just leave my hatch un-spoilered.
