I can't remember how many bolts there are but once those are off it's just a matter of pulling the spoiler off. It's got some double-sided tape holding it in place.

Also, make sure the 3rd brakelight is disconnected before you go tugging on the spoiler.

yep, you have tpo drill holes. go to the dealership and order the cardboard cutouts of where you're supposed to drill. i bought my spoiler kit factory from a member here associated with hyundai canada. the kit comes with a cardboard cutout of the hyundai emblem and you place it on top of the emblem and shows you exactly where to put the holes. there are four bolts on the spoiler.

np, they might think you're a little crazy about thart cardboard ordeal. don't forget we're talking 1999 here lol. hyundai dealers absolutely hate when you don't sweat their latest merch.

but try asking. it is there and does exist. it should show up on their computer.
