    3m double sided tape for the roof rails, buy a se decklid and paint instead of filling holes, and the moldings on the side are door ding guards.

    well ok, grind paint from around hole, weld holes shut, grind smooth, add filler, block filler level, prime, sand primer, seal and paint. then drill 3 new holes add strip caulk around spoiler studs, drill access holes on underside. bolt on spoiler and enjoy.

    or buy push pin plugs and mount spoiler

    For the rails...you need to remove the factory rails. And if you just dbl side tape them, they are likely to be gone if someone knows what they are. I used an epoxy puddy. They are rock solid.

    03 GTP...Its got pulleys and stuff.

    the real 3M double sided tape for exterior stuff holds super ultra strong. don't let it fool you. i almost didn't get my lip spoiler off my car when i was taking it off for paint.

    Probably thinking of the Gen1 SLP spoiler. At least that's how mine lined up to the factory holes.

    Yeah I think most of the aftermarket spoilers use the stock mounting holes, even the SLP ones.
