I got mine from F1, well actually I won & paid them September 9 but they haven't shipped them yet, and I was about to ask why the stock ones don't have a hole ! I guess I just saw the diference.

I like those side markers, they go good with the BIX. They have the same cut pattern around the edges and then the diamond cut makes it look clear like the lens of the BIX. Good stuff with the car, love the color.

Did you install the spoiler yourself? How many holes did you have to drill?

Good idea not to drill holes!
When you were applying the 3M glue, did it appear that you would be able to use dental floss to remove your spoiler later *if* you wanted to (same technique as debadging)? For example if you wanted to sell later and the buyer wanted the spoiler to come off...

With regards to the dental floss to take it off, Sure it would work but I think fishing line would be better because it's stronger.
BTW, I used double side tape but you can't use that alone because the spoiler is made out of fiberglass and the corners of the spoiler have to be pressed and held on to the corners on the trunk. I used a little glue on the corners and in the middle, not a lot, just enough to keep the spoiler on and held everything in place with some masking tape for about 4 or 5 hours and bingo, it's done.

It came already painted Granite Gray (perfect match and quality) with 3M (2) sided tape attached to the wing, I have my Zender wing on my Passat attached the same way with no issues, they can be removed if needed with the fishing line method...
