Default Spoiler

Just spend Sat. Morning installing my rear spoiler form Mopar accessories. The parts man said" it was no big deal just follow instruction and take my time."
Within the hour I had the four holes drilled and spoiler on. The biggest thing was center punching the new paint and drilling the holes. Wife was outside witha camera,not sure it was for the scrapbook or for evidence in a divorce court if I screwed up..(hehehe) .Once I started the fear left and it went really well. Very proud of the job and saved $100.Love the look.

Check http://www.ptdoityourself.net , there are plenty of do-it-yourself instructions, including MINE for the spoiler install.

Glad all went well- and once you saved those photos that your wife took into a well hidden spot, DISPOSE of all pics as these will hurt your case in front of a magistrate.

It looks great....Same exact sceniro at our house! That first hole made me cringe! My picture taking made him very nervous! But the
end result looks great! No divorce here! ;-)

Congrats on your successful installation! I am seriously mechanically challenged and the dealer installed my spoiler on my Inferno Red. Love the look!

Now if Mike would just show up with a Patriot Blue spoiler at the Niagara show...I'd buy it on the spot with my handy-dandy coupon.. and let YOU install it.. lol

Now I really love my husband, but the dealer will absolutely be the one installing the spoiler!!!! Drilling holes! Have mercy! I don't even want to watch.

I installed my spoiler with the help of a friend. He was really there for moral support - because drilling into my PT bothered me a bit. It was nice to have the extra hands to help hold things and line things up. Entire job took about 45 minutes.
Although this install is not diffilcult -- it is not for the squeemish !!! :/

After the drilling fear factor and the work, ain't it worth it?! It looks outstanding.
