The tips of the spoilers may be made to be raised in order to accommodate closing the trunk lid without banging against the quarter panels. On some, the pedestals will fit more flush than others due to the shape of different trunk lids. On some vehicles you will have more room for the holes, on some you will have less. The inside portion of the pedestals should fit inside the trunk area enough so the holes will be located at least 1/4" from the edges.
The legs or "pedestals" on these spoilers form a "V" shape and the outside tips may or may not extend past the trunk lid, depending on its width. The spoiler would still be centered from side to side, but you may need to move it more forward on the trunk lid, if needed, to accommodate fitment of the legs and/or holes. Because these type spoilers are universal, they will fit differently from vehicle to vehicle.
However, the installer must use his judgment in placing the spoiler. Q: Are the mid high, supra high and specialty spoilers installed the same way? We have an installation demo on our web site you can view: Just attach the two wires to your third brake light wires. (If you have an extra layer of sheet metal underneath your trunk lid, see my "Tip" on the next question below.) The LED is simple to install. You then tighten the bolts down to secure the spoiler in place. Use the supplied drill guides as a template for you to drill holes in alignment with the legs of the spoiler. They come with sealing gaskets (sponge-like material) that stick to the bottom of the legs, and mounting bolts.

Q: Is it difficult to install a spoiler? How do you install the LED light? This spoiler applies to and will fit more than one vehicle model." If you do not see a particular spoiler listed for your vehicle, it most likely does not fit. So that is why we call it "custom" and have a caption under the photo that says, "Photo shows example of spoiler only. That spoiler will fit on your vehicle-it's just that we do not have a photo of every kind of spoiler on top of every kind of car. You may see a photo of the spoiler on your car, or you may see a photo of the actual spoiler shown on another car. If you see an application listed for your vehicle, it means that it has been tested to fit for that vehicle. We have carefully put together our catalog from applications that have been manufacturer tested. Q: How do I know what spoilers fit my car? I see a photo of a spoiler you have on another car-will it fit mine? If your trunk lid has some curvature, you may have to choose a spoiler with the legs that are closer together, like the Valeside style, Touring style wing or our Universal wing #WG902L. You will need to make sure that the leg-to-leg measurements fit within your trunk lid measurements. There you will see a schematic with measurements. In most cases, if your trunk lid is relatively flat you should be able to use one of the spoilers listed in the Universals or Specialty Wings section. If you don't see a spoiler listed for your vehicle, it may be that your model is older than our current application guides or that your vehicle's trunk lid is either too short or too curved for a wing to fit it. Q: I don't see an application listed for my vehicle. Leg-to-Leg measurements are more critical when the legs of the spoiler sit closer to each end- the "foot" of each leg should fall within the trunk lid.

Tip-to-Tip measurements will give you total length of spoiler in relation to trunk lid plus rear quarter panels. Bolt holes in spoiler should fall at least 1/4 inch from edges of trunk lid. Sometimes use of extra gasket material under the legs will accommodate for any gaps due to arched trunk lids. If trunk lid is arched, you will be limited to a universal spoiler that is curved, or choose a wing that has legs very close together. Wings with legs further apart will fit most vehicles with relatively flat and/or squared up trunk lid edges. Wings with legs closer together in the middle will fit virtually all vehicles. Universal Style: Designed to Universally fit many vehicles.
