Just another no wait. Fly 1 Duckbill Spoiler Review

Ohk so this is the last piece of Z puzzle but it's running into some unexpected slight troubles. Then again its aftermarket so eh not too big of a surprise.
So here's the clips for the stock sport spoiler.

These come out from the exterior by using a tiny flat head and basically pulling it upwards. Careful not to hit your paint. There is a little gasket on it too and it looks like water won't get into the trunk of you left it in place. It's like a little bowl.

So I test fit the spoiler but it's looking like the two center bolts don't line up 100% with the factory holes by a small margin like maybe 1/4 to 1/2 inch? Will probably need to slightly make the factory hole enlarged towards the center.

The outside bolts looks like they line up with the factory hole BUT you cant tighten them down because you can't access the outer holes from the inside. Probably need to drill into the hatch from the inside. I don't want to use too much double stick tape as my paint on my car is still soft from the whole paint job but depending on how flush it is, some people may be okay with just no bolts and all double stick tape.
FYI, proper automotive 3m double stick tape with no bolts will hold solid for sure if you use enough. Just mentioning it as that is always an option for future buyers.
These are expected challenges to run into with aftermarket in general. This shouldn't deter people from buying this wing but I'm just trying to help.
Well that's all folks. Shoots den.
