NOTE: Use General Judgment (a.k.a Common Sense) when doing modifications like
these. This is just what I did to install this spoiler on my car so I am not
liable for you drilling a hole in your car or messing something up OK! If you
cannot attempt to do this take it to a body shop where they have more experience
with fitment issues and putting parts on cars!
Tools:
1. Drill
2. A few small drill bits
3. A ratchet and some sockets
4. Silicone
5. Another person (4 hands are better than one, my wife helped me, it took us
about 2 hours to install it)
6. Longer bolts and lock washers than what came w/the spoiler (take the spoiler
to the local hardware store and get different length bolts and check the threads
to make sure they fit)
7. Marker
8. Wire taps (to tap into the brake light wiring)
NOTE: This spoiler was made to fit a Mitsubishi Galant?s trunk it is flat all
the way across and I put it on my 1997 Nissan Maxima and the Maxima?s trunk is
rounded on the ends so it DOES NOT FIT EXACTLY flush on the ends it?s like ??
off but must bee seen up close to recognize it. I have had my spoiler on my car
for 3 years w/no problems at all.
The GTZ spoiler will come w/some short bolts (because it was made for a Galant
trunk and the Galant trunk is thinner than a Maxima trunk, also the Maximas
trunk has two walls to drill through) about an 1? long you will need to buy some
bolts that are about 1 ?? long to go all the way through the trunk to tighten
into the spoiler. The spoiler will come with a template and a rubber gasket
center the gasket and template on the trunk lid and mark your drill points w/a
marker. Drill a pilot hole in all the 5 places, two each side for the spoiler
bolts and one on the left side for the L.E.D. brake wiring to go through. You
will need to drill through both walls on the trunk. Please be patient will all
this drilling your holes need to line up. Place the spoiler on the trunk lid and
test fit your holes to see if they are straight if they are remove the spoiler
and then apply some silicone in around the holes and on the bottom on the
spoiler. Tighten down all your bolts to a good and snug hand tight fit. Then run
your brake light wiring to the brake light wiring then tap into the ground and
the power of the brake light and then splice into it.
