devirginizing a wingless trunk

Has anyone put a OEM spoiler or wing on their factory equipped wingless trunk. I am interested in putting an SS/SC wing on my '04 Cavalier LS Sport & POSSIBLY my '95 Cavalier LS Convertible. I need to know how to get the wing centered perfectly on the trunk lid.

Personally I would take something like that to a body shop.

center it on the trunk where you want it and take a grease marker and mark the corners.. then take some cardboard and make a templet off the base of the wing and line it up with the marks you made on the trunk .. check and recheck after you tape down thw templets by placing the wing over the templets and making sure the studs line up with the marks for the holes you made.. once it is all squared away.. drill the holes make sure you uses some sealent between the wing and the trunk

use a silicone sealent.. the stock wing has a rubber/foam footing that seals it but just a little sealent around the base would do fine... dont drive it for a few hours tho
