I got a spoiler today and was wondering how to make the 4 holes to mount it with. also where would i get the adhesive used. It looks like 3m double sided tape, but it is cut to the shape of the spoiler.

drill for the 4 holes...Yea just get some 3M adhessive tape,you don't have to use it if you don't want to,the bolts will be good enough to pull it to the trunk.

Throw some masking tape on top of the trunk in the spots you'll be drilling. It'll save possibly chipping larger chunks of paint from drilling

i should have phrased it better. How do i know where to drill the holes. Is there some sort of template i can get?

get a black marker....on the bottom of the spoiler where the screws would go into....make a mark...then put it on the trunk....hopefully then a little mark will appear on your trunk...then drill in the hole....hope that makes sense

You could make a template using a larger sheet of paper.
You could get wood dowels that fit in the holes and use them to mark the trunk.

you can try going to any custom car/truck store and maybe they will give you some hole locaters. or get some sheets of paper, put them on the bottom of the spoiler, put holes in the paper where the screw holes ar, use small pieces of tape to hold them to the spoiler, fit it to the trunk, then use large pieces of tape and tape it to the trunk, slowly pull it away from the trunk with out moving the papers, and drill the holes, don't forget to treat the holes with paint to keep the holes from rusting.
