Jared- out of the 5 bolt holes that the OE third brake light uses to mount, ASM only utilizes 2 of the holes and they give you 2 screws. They also provide double sided tape but I didn't use any because the gap provided by the tape is unsightly IMO and close if not the same as the gap without the tape--prefer without the tape for 2 reasons:
1) the white tape makes the gap look very visible (Especially on a black car) and while there is still a small gap without the tape, its not bad and my eye isn't drawn to it as much as with the tape. I could buy some black double sided tape but...
2) I might only run this spoiler temporarily so I didn't want to have a hard time removing it nor did I want to mess up my freshly painted trunk.
I'm liking it so far, forgot to mention I have purchased a universal 3rd brake light off eBay and going to try to mount it to the inside of the hardtop so it's visible out the rear window. Should have this completed later this week if it works out...

Loving that duckbill! Really good choice to skip the double sided tape, I woulda done the same... Maybe throw a very light coat of grease to minimize the scratching on the trunk from the wing flexing? I'd hate to see your clear coat get scratched >_< Love your parts selection, so clean and low-key!
