does anyone know whether the trd spoiler fits in with existing holes that came with the stock wings or does it require drilling additional holes?
thanks

you need to drill 5 additional holes.
2 on the right, and 3 on the left (1 is for the brake light wire)
check the install section.. i have a install on it that I got from trd.

yup, but you may need to put an extra hole to fit the wiring for the light.

to tell you the truth, i made templates from the bottom of the spoiler, lined it up w/the hatch holes, and took a drill to my car.... worked perfectly 1st try 
I'll do that.
Anything I should watch out for in installing it that you felt you could have done to make it fit better?
Now I gotta get me some drills
also is it necessart to touch paint the chips after drilling?

my best suggestion is measure 5x, drill once
start w/small bits and work your way up in size until everything fits.
and yes.. use touch up paint for the bare metal after drilling.... good luck

Russ:
I'm doing a stock spolier replacement for the TRD.
I need to know what the template tool is and where I can get this. When I swap the two wires? will the roof brake light no longer function and instead the light on the wing comes on?
also where can I get a pilot hole punch

template tool? i used some kinda thick paper
when you swap the wires, the roof one will no longer work
pilot hole punch.. probably a hardware store... i just used on of those small nail pusher downers (that's the technical term)

Hey I've got a question.
I went and got the drill and bits but they do not have them in metric. they only have standards.
for the 12mm they have 11.9
14mm 14.3
it'll still fit right?
Do you really need the pilot holes? can't you just drill it?
also taping it isn't neccesary right?

i just tapped the metal down w/a pointed object so the drill bit wouldn't slide... tape... nope... just drew the circles w/a sharpie, and then tapped, and then drilled
I was looking at the instruction and had a question on the plastic clip that goes into the 12 mm holes
it seems like the clip will move around in there and can slip right off.
On your car, are the 12mm holes a circle or is it shaped like the clip. I just don't understand how this clip will hold inside. There is nothing that holds the clip undeneath the car.
thanks
