Put ours on myself about 1 hour after the PT was brought home !!!! Had it ordered and delivered 4 months before the PT came in and just could not wait any longer !!! Talk about freaking out and a case of nerves !! Came out fine though with a little common sense and alot of slow down and do it right the 1st time.

About the spoiler...have an OEM and my brother installed it in his driveway in about a half hour. The only suggestion I would have is don't let your little sister stand around in the event she decides to sit in the Cruiser while you're drilling holes . Only I could be so silly... It came out looking great in spite of me!

Good luck and I'm sure you'll do fine installing your own!
Angel, I'm glad that Hunter is still enjoying his PT, that is cool.

I'll be sure to take your advice and NOT have my little sister hanging around when I'm drilling. Hopefully it will turn out ok, just never thought I would be taking a drill to my PT!

Thanks all for the advice, it is much appreciated!

I just installed one this last Saturday, and it only took around 1/2 hour. Before you drill the four holes, just triple check the location of the spoiler to be sure its where you want it and that the holes are marked properly. It's really not that bad to install, but I was really worried when I began to drill those holes

Hi , mine took about a 1/2 hour to install...Hardest part was the first hole but after that it was a breeze . Just be sure to have a buddy or someone to lend a hand.

I just remembered, those instructions at www.ptdiy.net are mine!!

The holes- if you fill the holes with silicone, there is NO CHANCE that the holes will rust at all!! I did the same when I put the visor on the old truck- 10 years later, NO RUST, no shakes, no nothing.

Also- make sure the bits are sharp!! ANd vacuum up the metal fillings afterwards to avoid rusties elsewhere.

Enjoy.

I had the dealer install mine. It came prepainted for $250 plus $50 for installation.

Just to let you all know, Race and Street is offering the OEM spoiler on sale right now for $166 painted, and they will deliver to CTF!!! I bought mine last week and wasn't planning on attending CTF at the time, so I had them ship it to my house. It arrived two days after I placed the order (nice b-day present to myself)

Thanks again all for the advice. Sean, I have your instructions printed out and will be using them for the install.

After 3 years i caved in and got the OEMpainted red. Installed easily and I like the look. I'd say go for it.
