After much looking for OEM spoiler, endless EBAY & web searches i went with the OEM from Sewell. I know i can count on them and i was leery of what i was seeing on web.
a few bucks more but 2 day delivery vs 2-3 weeks on ebay.

Subtotal: $170.97

If I remember reading correctly, the factory/OEM rear spoiler has screws. If you don't plan on drilling your trunk, then you can remove the screws. Then use the 3M type to attach the spoiler.
There's no specific skill needed to use 3M tape installation. Just slap on the 3M tape on the spoiler that is even spread... test it align it before peeling the other side of the 3M.
Have a buddy to help you if you wish... it may make alignment easier.
Once you are sure how to position and align. Then peel the otherside and slap it on.
BTW, make sure your car and the spoiler is clean before sticking 3M on.

I just used a dremel to cut the screws off and smooth out the surface. Apply 3m double sided tape and had a friend help me align while I slap it on.
3m double sided tape should hold and it's pretty strong!

My friend who applies sticky stuff to cars (decals) uses regular rubbing alcohol to wipe the surface before applying. He says it cuts any oils or waxes that may be on there.
