I'm sure DaveR can help you there - he has one on his '70 beauty. Does look like it sits off the duco a bit.

To be honest I just looked at lots of photos of Challenger T/As and positioned mine so it looks the same.

The spoiler sits flat against the trunk lid. You will need to cut holes on the underside of the lid for the bolts.

My spoiler came with studs attatched. I marked their positions and drilled through after laying masking tape on the area on the trunk lid first. Then cut the holes open on the underside.

The stock holes were rectangular. I only had a round cutter.

Barry's website should have some photos I would think?

That car looks superb -! everything fits in perfectly. Just the right amounts of black and green, love the stripes too. I like how you have blacked out between the lights and frontal area - mine is the same too. Great job ! What donk you running in it? (engine)
