Got it off ebay for like $40 Can. from som wrecked 7. The broken cup holders in the rear have been pissing me off so at least I can get that all fixed up now.

Side note: Trunk spoiler is in at FedEx so i'll let ya know how it fits this afternoon.

You got that right
The trunk spoiler is in guys, I did a test fit quickly when I toke it out of the box.
Its fits on decent but where the trunk lid curves around to the sides thats where you have to bend it a bit inward to get it flush with the trunk.
Other than that everything looks fine with it, put it in the rear seats with the roof spoiler. Will wait until weather gets nicer to paint them both and install.

Local shop most likely.
Sam, this package came with a tube of some glue/sealant? do I use that and the 3m tape to slap it on the trunk?

I say use one or the other. Regardless which route you use, make sure both surfaces are prepped properly and try to get your hands on some adhesive promoter and alot of clamps. The adhesive promoter makes a huge difference when you use the double sided tape. Use the clamps to to hold the spoiler in place ight after the glue, or double sided tape is put on.
