*Properly* installing a wing on a car, help!

Hey Guys,

I dont have the wing in possession but I want to make this as quick and smooth as possible when I get it in the mail (should be 1-3 more days).

The PO says it is brand new never used. Doesn't come with any mounting hardware.

My car is wingless and the holes have been welded/filled when I removed the stock wing. I understand the simple rule of installation to drill holes, and bolt on.

I am worried about water leaks, rattling and vibration. As for when I get bolts I figure I will use a bit of gasket I have lying around make it into a "gasket washer" (If I cannot find something like this at a local hardware store). This will prevent water dripping into the trunk.

Next I am worried about vibration. As for most spoilers they usually have some sort of thin gasket or rubber to prevent scratches during installation, vibrations during use and such.

Anyone have expertise in regards to this. I am sure my body shop will inform me of these things when I ask, but I would like techniques from everyone.

Thank You
