just also bought a rear wing for my galant . . but its also for galant. . just painted it to match the car color. .

if you like here are the procedure i follow to install it. .

first i put a masking tape on the trunk where the base of the wing is approximately will be fixed. . so as not to scratch the paint when i work. .

then centered the wing in the trunk where it would be placed correctly and look nice(measure all distances from edges. . make sure its the same(centered)). .

then marked/trace the base of the wing with a pencil or pen(like making a footprint . . still on the masking tape you placed ).. .
here what it looks like

next. .make a template of the base(on a paper or cardboard) of the wing with all of the bolts holes needed to be drilled . . cut it . .

then line it up in the trunk where you marked(the footprint) of the wing. .

transfer the marked holes to be drilled in the masking tape footprint(make sure its the right one) . . .

then look or inspect where the holes of the bolts to hold the wing will hit(before drilling). . make sure that it will not hit the rubber or lip of the inside lip of the trunk. .and make sure its correct. . by placing the wing again on top of the trunk again . .to see if you marked the holes to be drilled correctly. . .if not . . make "necessary adjustment". . . like they say "measure twice(or more), cut(drill) ones". . .

tell you . . sweating before i drill the first hole. . but when i finished. . the holes lined up on the screw/bolt hole on the base of the wing when i fit it. . . all smiles. . wing looks nice(did not take it off)bolted it right away. . fresh paint et al. . next stop. . finish the paint job(buffing) and wire the light. . . and make sure that you put paint or rust inhibitor on all the holes you made. . good luck!

hope i put the instruction clearly. . . or correctly. .
