There's nothing to measure chief. Set it into place. There's a notch toward the front of the spoiler which lines up with the edge of the painted area behind the glass. Center it, tape the drill-thru thingies, and lift the spoiler off. Drill the holes, then get the bigger drill bit and drill again. Then bolt it down.

Did your wing come with directions?The things that hold the front of it to the glass aren't going to do a damned thing to help you drill holes guy. The wing comes with some plastic inserts that stick into the bolt holes of the wing. You put those in, then set the wing on the car, and tape those inserts into place. When you pull the wing back up, those inserts stay, therefore showing you where to drill your holes.
BTW, this is obvious, but I better say it anyway: You're going to have to fill/weld the holes from the stock spoiler and repaint that panel before installing the spoiler.

Jim,
I think he's talking about using a stock 4th gen wing, not the ASCD replica correct? If that's the case you've got alot of work ahead of you, it's not a direct bolt on. Your goind to need to do some fabricating, and some bondoing. Search the site for 4th gen wing and look for Scauffiel he's the only one I've seen thats done it.
