    Just ship it to me ill mount it on my trunk and then you will know where it goes. Lol.
    There should be little round marks in the trunk support where you could just fit a wrench in, should mount up in the same location as our usdm one.

    take a look at 4-grims build thread i know there are pictures on how he mounted his.

    here is the link shows how he lined it up you should just shoot him a pm.

    Mounting the VR4 wing gets tricky as you may think it would mount on the same spots where the regular USDM spoiler would mount since there are provisions where the mounting holes would be at.

    The bad news is that the VR4 wing doesn't mount on the same spot as USDM spoiler would. The build thread that Galant306 posted, you will see that I put painters tape to guide me as a template where to drill the holes for the VR4 wing. It gets tidious, but take your time. The center post of the VR4 wing takes a bit work as you have to drill a hole for the wiring for the 3rd LED brake light and mounting screw.

    I will post pics tommorrow if I have some time.

    Mine mounted right into the USDM spots. No modification needed.

    My trunk didn't have a spoiler originally but it seemed the provisions where it where you would drill for the holes were different.

    GS came with spoilers from the factory. NOT as a dealer installed option.
    You'll see a lot of 7g's with spoilers that came with the car,
    but they'll also have a rear dash 3rd brake light(this is because the dealer installed the spoiler) so when they hit the brakes both the spoiler led and the rear dash 3rd light come on. There is nothing in this world I hate more than to see this.
    In my rear dash, the rear dash trim hasn't been cut and there is no 3rd brakelight housing.

    the 94-96 are all the same trunk lids 97 98 were different cuz of the tails changing and im pretty sure they all have the same spoiler

    all the trunk lids are the same. the 7GB uses the same spoiler as the 94-96. it's only where tha tails are that there is a diffrence, structure wise and mounting spoiler wise they are identical.

    it's only the tail cavity that is diffrent. where the 7GA has the red strip where it says galant they gave us a panel that is body colored that says galant.

    the thing dave has for sale

    Ok I stand corrected from my previous post about the USDM mounting points not being the same as the VR4 wing. Its been awhile since I mounted the wing, but I checked this morning and yes..the provision marks are there on where to drill the holes for the mounting points for the spoiler.

    Mine were off by half a inch because I wanted to mount the wing as near to the edge of the trunk lid and where the mounting points were marked wouldn't allow that so I drilled the holes a half inch closer to the edge of the trunk lid...my bad for the misinformation.:(

    just make sure you take your time. Get it lined up using the tap like 4grim did. And most of all take pics when you are done.
