Spoiler Installation

So the rear wing spoiler is $385 for the part. And installed, most dealers charge $500. Has anyone done this installation yourself? Its like 4 bolts, 4 drilled holes, and thats it? I have a drill, I'd rather save the $115. No need to pay the body shop to do it, and the sales dept markup of the body shop's cost.

Thoughts?

make sure to use some touch up paint on the freshly exposed metal after you drill the holes,
also make your measurements precise or else it's going to look like crap
