A 1" hole saw (for your drill)from the local hardware store does a fine job! As Rob mentioned it is a "challenging" experience. When I installed a spoiler on my "#3" '73 (which had to find a new 'corral' about a year ago :-( due to space limitations) I simply lined the spoiler up on the decklid, even on both sides and marked where the ends of the mounting studs were. Use a center punch to make a dimpleon the "crest" for the hole saw pilot bit and go as slowly as you can, it isn't easy but it will work. The holes will give you a little bit of side to side movement for alignment if they're not perfect...just like the factory does.
: Grabber spoiler! What size hole's are drilled in the trunk lid? Are they drilled on the "crest" of the lid? Anyone out there have a Grabber with the spoiler off? Maybe you could make me a template of the hole pattern.
: The reason I ask,I just got a spoiler in the mail today,and it came in two pieces and is total trash! however I "may" be able to save it with about a weeks work of real fiberglass work,not bondo,but then again I don't want to ruin my trunk lid,my MAV has to be painted by Aug 23th,so if I don't do this soon there will be no spoiler,it has the hood ,but can't waste my time trying to repair this spoiler if I don't have some info on the hole pattern
: Thanks for Your time
