After much thought and debate, I also drilled the holes when I installed the spoiler on my '14 GS. The adhesive seems plenty strong but I kept having visions of my spoiler coming off on the freeway!

Just curious: Did you really finish the project all on your lunch break? Taking my time, I spent about 3 hours from start to finish. Could probably do the job much faster if I had to do it again.

Yes it is the OEM non F-Sport spoiler. I like this one a bit better honestly!

Yeah I was having that same vision haha. Also, I really did do it on my (extended) lunch break. I have plenty experience installing spoilers as I always did my own and also had the template which made it that much easier. Was a great way to spend my lunch in my opinion.

A lot less difficult when you have the template! I can see it being difficult for someone who's never done it and doesn't have a template though.
