Its time for a DIY spoiler instilation, things you will need:

A spoiler
A drill
Intuition
petroleum jelly or something to seal the bare metal

Step 1 the spoiler:

Step 2 rough idea of placement (more so an exact idea :P *learn from experience*)

Step 3:

*for anyone who has installed a spoiler you can note that this is not the place to drill the center hole for an OEM camry spoiler :P OOPsies! AKA dont do this w/out doing the ends first*

OK to make sure you get the right placement for the center hole its better to do the ends like so:

after that you can place the spoiler in spot to align for the center hole:

*other things needed: paint to paint match*
next step is to paint match:

...

Seal the bases of the spoiler if you want the best results, i didnt finish painting b/c i ran out of time so the only step after paint match is to push the spoiler in place and bolt it down:

Thats it for the Spoiler DIY
Heres something else i did when i went to the pull-a-part or rather i got while i was there

Speaking of the panel, I was taking a look at my rear panel the other day, and I was wondering if it may be possible to pull off the clear plastic from the red underneath and maybe paint it. Any thoughts?

I have mine black, for contrasting 2 tones on my car

usually on lighting N35, you tend to bake them as if retrofitting, and the center panel is way too large to fit in any conventional oven ive seen :P but it could be possible :/ easiest way would be to use a heat gun but being very careful ****im about to have to figure this part out myself aswell
