Any recommendations for OEM spoiler install in OC?

I just got an oem spoiler for a birthday gift, and was hoping to get it installed somewhere! I don't have the hardware or the template that comes with the kit unfortunately. Anybody have any rec's in OC near irvine? Thanks in advance!

Where's the hardware and the templates? You should just contact the dealership and mention that they are missing, most places will just probably give them to you for free as long as you can prove they were purchased from them. If not, just purchase the hardware, template and tackle it yourself to save couple hundred bucks. There should be a DIY on the spoiler install already around the forum.

The template and hardware never came with the spoiler. It was a used OEM one that was repainted, so I think I'm missing a few 10mm nuts, which should make up the missing hardware. I can pick that up easily, but what I really need is the template to try it out myself. I don't know if I can trust myself with all the measurements without the template lol.

I contacted two dealerships and both refused because the template was missing. I guess they either don't want to deal with it or don't have any extra templates, which is odd to me.

If you have a DIY that you could refer me to for the oem spoiler, that'd be awesome! The only thing I found was the DIY for the Grubbs spoiler, which has different drilling points. I tried lining up the OEM spoiler, and it seems like there's more than 2 holes I'd have to drill into. Maybe something like 5?

If you're willing to try it yourself, I'll loan you the tools.

Post up on classified section for the templates, I am sure someone out there has a spare one lying around that they can give for free. You just pay them for postage cost.

Is this for a coupe or sedan?

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the help guys! I'll try posting something up on the classifieds. I don't think I'll need the tools, but I appreciate the offer!

Tried calling more dealerships and body shops. Out of 7, only 1 has been willing to do it without the template and wants $200 for the job. I guess the template was more important than I thought lol
