John I would appreciate a "how to install" sent to me when you have time. I can learn by your experience and I'm sure this thread will be buried by the time my car arrives. Thx~

Here's some pics w/ my 3rd lamp installed. I got this one until I find one better. One w/ flash one w/out. Lamp is shining through my tint.

Rich, install isn't that hard. It'll come w/ instructions. In summary: TAKE OUT TAILLAMPS! Tape the enclosed templates on to lid/quarters. Center punch holes on template, then drill pilot and regular holes. Test fit w/ hardware, use masking tape to outline the spoiler so when you reinstall everything will line up quickly w/ the adhesive exposed. Remove and clean surface w/ alcohol. Remove double sided tape, slowly place spoiler in place and stick. Fasten w/ hardware. It's pretty easy, just take your time and align everything up so it looks perfect... don't be in a hurry.

That looks awesome on Torch Red! Very nice installation, looks like it came on the car from the factory.

Nice choice on the 15% tint in the rear too, I think I'm going to go with the same darkness now. Was thinking 20% to make sure I can still see out the back at night but now I see 15% will be perfect for me.

Looks real good. Too bad I got mine painted already. I might have gone another route after looking at your car.

BTW, my nieghbors thought I was on something when I drilled holes in my hood too. Your right about the metal shavings. If you have a hand vacume it takes care of it nicely though.

John how flimsy are the litle bits on the end caps that meet the body line at the bumper.
On all of CDC's pics it liik like the tape it letting loose and the little tabs are coming up.

BTW it looks awesome on your car!

They're not as flimsy as they looked in CDC's pics, but they're not as firm as one would hope. The quarter extensions are held in w/ 2 bolts and double sided tape. The first bolt is near the top, the second is at about 10 or 2 o'clock, no hardware near the bottom. I would've liked to have seen a bolt down there too, but remember it's fiberglass, so it's a lot stiffer than if it was plastic. ie. It's as stiff as a 'Vette hood/fenders, but not as flimsy as our bumper covers. Heck, it's a lot stiffer than any part on a Saturn ... and that's no joke.

You should make commission on the sales of the CDC spoiler because you were the first one that I have seen post it anywhere. Plus you are more informative than CDC themselves. Many thanks!

David the spoiler WILL NOT cover the holes of the factory spoiler. CDC has a kit (that looks horrible) imo that covers the factory holes.

I wouldn't go changing my order at this late date when your car is so close to being built.

David, Rich's right about the holes. CDC makes a spoiler delete kit that is a joke. I could've made something better w/ an old license plate and a bench grinder.
I'd post in the main forum (if it doesn't go down again) about possibly changing your order. I don't know how long the delay, if any, would be. I think it's always best to wait for exactly what you want. My .02, I know you've been waiting a long time.

Too late to change the order unless you cancel and start all over.

I recieved my spoiler from CDC today, here is the installation instructions that were included with the spolier. Sadly it won't be until late april before it gets painted and installed.
