F8x gts front spoiler installation guide ?

I recently purchased a gts front spoiler from RW carbon
They said they don’t provide a installation guide ..
Is there any diy or guide I can look?
I did some search and did not have any success finding one ..
Thanks in advance !

Not exact but this should give you the important steps

Assemble GTS wing and place on the trunk where you best see fit
Use painters tape to “mark” where the stands are placed
Use a sharpie or marker to mark the spots to drill
Remove trunk liner and check position of drill spots to ensure clearance on the underside
Go to town and drill holes through
Install the GTS wing

All good. For the front spoiler it’ll depend as each company sells a slightly different version of the replica piece. I’ve assisted w/ a similar install and we removed the front bumper to do it right. The front lip comes in two pieces with the lower piece being adjustable. There are also two brackets that are used to hold the upper piece in place.
