Does it come with bolts to were you have to drill into the deck lid like the factory one does?
It does say flush mount
How was the color match? How long have u had it

It does come with bolt drilled holes on the spoiler. It shows I need 6-8 holes if I remember. But since I just picked up the Tc, I didn't want to damage her by drilling holes. Therefore I used 4x 3M strip tape and heat it up and stuck it on. I have never had an issue yet. I been on the highway going 140km/h and rain and heavy winds and slamming the trunk. The big test comes when it starts snowing here and colder weather in the -10 to -20....
It fits perfectly to the back of the trunk. No need to cut or adjust it.
The color match was just a tad darker then original but you don't notice it unless you put your face to the spoiler and the back trunk. Maybe it was just me that can tell the difference.
I got the spoiler the day I picked up the car lol. Which was a little month ago.

I also bought an OEM rear lip flush mount spoiler on eBay for $129.99 already painted. The cement matched my car exactly. I installed it myself using 6 bolts, just like one that comes from the dealership. I wouldn't trust tape to hold it on, but some have apparently used tape with great success.
The total cost of the spoiler from the dealership was going to be $444, I got my for less than 1/3 of the cost. So it was like getting my Injen CAI intake for free!! DIY FTW

I ordered it on Saturday!! Should be interesting on how good the paint matches my sizzling Crimse...
How hard was the instal with the bolts? With the templet it shouldn't be to bad hopefully.

On TRDsparks there is a kit to do the real install of the spoiler; bolts, washers ect. It also comes with heavier duty trunk lift struts (dont know if that is the right word?). And lastly, there is complete intall instructions in the uper right hand of the spoiler page, so you are not drilling holes "blind."
Better yet, here is the instructions link:

And here is the link to the template so you can drill:

the spoiler that I ordered comes with a template and very good instructions.
Thanks for putting a link up from trdsparks.com, i have been looking at those instructions for while now so I can probably do it with my eyes closed now
Trdsparks is were I got the instructions to put in my factory fog lights this past weekend.

I got my "Factory Style Spoiler" off ebay for $130 pre-painted. The 202 Black matched my car exactly. It did come with instructions and a template for a bolt on application, but I used like 10 feet worth of 3M doublesided outdoor tape and havent had a problem with it, I've even hit 120 in the rain and it hasnt budged. I highly reccomend buying it from ebay, as opposed to paying $450 to get one from the stealership.

(Not the best picture of it, but it's the only one I have on my computer right now!)
