Thanks for the info...

I agree the spoiler is 1/2 out of alignment. When I 3M'd the bumper and screwed the holes in, the bumper pulled down and there is a gap.

Poor engineering. They also did not ship my 3M tape, nor instructions but were kind enough to send me some and guide me with install.

Did you have pre-drilled holes for the 8 extra screws? I did not!



I will do the windshield urethane, excellent info!
