I think he's asking if it's an easy install vice paying the dealership (stealership) $400 to install same.

Personally, I don't know who your dealership is, but he's ripping you off big time. Should cost no more than $50-$100 for install. ...Just do it yourself...unless you're terrible with DIYs.

....or find another dealer!!

It's 3m tape & a little bit of glue. Then you just match it up with your trunk and your done. Some people don't even use glue but just 3m tape it all around.

Spoiler = tops 200 bucks.

On this car it is so easy "even a caveman could do it"! Clean the area with alcohol. Position the spoiler on the trunk. If you are really unsure of you ability to reposition it correctly, take some small pieces of masking tape and lay them down on the trunk at the corners and in the middle and around the perimeter of the spoiler. If you enlist the help of a second party, it will be easier to position. Not worth $400. Will take all of 30 minutes if you are slow.

+1. $400 for the spolier and install together maybe. But anyone charging $400 to install needs to be drug tested.
