Default Replacing OEM Wing with RMM 3-Piece Spoiler

I just ordered the RMM 3-piece spoiler to replace the OEM wing on my GS.

Will the RMM spoiler cover all the holes that will be visible when they take the OEM wing off?

If not, what will be left and how will my shop go about fixing the holes?

will the entire trunk lid have to be taken off the car, holes filed and the entire trunk repainted?

approximate cost of whatever the solution is?

also, if the RMM covers the holes from the OEM wing, then how much do you think painting RMM will cost and getting it put on the car?

lastly, how is RMM spoiler applied. Bonded or 3-M tape? Is one method preferable to the other?

i THINK the 3piece spoiler will leave some holes on the hood, they won't cover all the holes. your only option will be to give the car to body shop and fill the holes and repaint the whole trunk lid. not cheap, i say at least 500 bucks for a good job? just an estimate.

another POSSIBLE option is the exhcnage your trunk lid with another gs with the same color that doesn't have any spoiler to begin with
