I'm not too sure, but if you look under the hatch where the spoiler is supposed to bolt up there would be 2 circle marks where the factory drills for the holes.

The two rubber plugs are for the hatch to sit against the rest of the car when its down so there's no metal to metal contact. I just checked on mine. where the two rubber feet/plug things are there should be like a curve like ---____---- in that area on the edge near the rear thats where both of my bolts are on that side. Its the same on the other. Hope that helps

I'm not too sure if those are it, but I used those marks on my Civic trunklid to install my spoiler and they worked mint.

Im assuming you have the spoiler already. Heres what you do, lay it on top and mark the holes w/tape and crumpled paper (so it sticks up from a side view. then, have a buddy place a straw underneeth where you see the impressions. have the hatch half open and look at it from the side. the straw should from an imaginary line right through the hatch to connect w/the taped paper. if both line up from the side view and the distance is comparable on both sides, then there you go. theres other ways to do it but common sense is the best method.

yeah......but i wanted to know where the factory spoilers are mounted. if theres like a marking or something under the hatch. i only have one chance at it and i dont want to screw up. if someone could show me a pic of where their spoiler is mounted under the hatch, that would help alot. i got an idea where to drill at from what "vtec4clyfury" posted. but all i want is someone to tell or show me that its the right spot to mount it.
