Thanks NuShrike that helps. I've been reading through everything the best I could and I understand pretty much everything except page 3. How do I know where to drill the holes? Do I use the marking off pen to do that? If so where and how do I use the pen? Does the pen act as a depth gauge and if so how do I make one? Why do I need to use 3 different drill bits? I'm assuming that it needs 3 bits numbers 3,7, and 9?

Well I've been studying the pictures and text and i'm just guessing here but I think the other side of the bumper cover will have markings on where to drill the holes. I'm guessing that because there are no indications in the manual on measurements of the marking pen or measurements of the hole locations. If this is true it will make things a lot easier. Another thing i'm not to sure on is I think the manual says to use 3 different drill bits. If I do use 3 different drill bits why do I need 3 when all 8 holes are the same size? And if I need 3 bits what sizes are they? I'm guessing 3, 7, and 9 are metric sizes? Do I use one size as a pilot hole and the other as the final hole? Can anyone confirm any of this?

I just finished installing it and it took me about 2 hours. It could have been shorter if I had some help. I will post pictures after I wash and put 3 more layers of Zaino on my car.

Wow, hope you feel better. And, looks like you put it on with no problems..

Anyways, just credit the translation to K.K., and that's good enough.

One of these days, I'll probably try this spoiler out too..

Well I'm not going to be able to Get pictures today. My parents went to go buy a 2007 Yaris at Fannin Toyota in Ashland KY and I went with them. Its white with the sports package and even has the front spoiler. Now why cant we get that for our Prius? Why do we have to import our stuff and the little Yaris gets all the goodies. Anyway its a nice car. On a side note there are 2 Prius just sitting there on the lot waiting to be taken home by someone. One black and one red. I don't know what packages they were. If you don't have your prius yet you better hurry on down to Fannin Toyota. I just got back home and i'm going to try to wash and put at least one coat of Zaino on. I'll try to take some pics tomorrow. I post some pictures of the Yaris too. Oh and I also got my recall notice today. Going to schedule the appointment and get my 5000 mile service.

Sorry but my sickness really hit me yesterday plus it started to rain. I'm going to try to get pictures thursday or friday depending on how i'm feeling and if weather permits. So far this has been one sucky vacation. This Installation was easy but I could have used some help reinstalling the bumper cover. There are markings on the back of the bumper cover that show you where to drill so that helped a lot. Everything else was just as the instruction pictures described. I will rework the instructions and post them here as soon as I get to it. I'm posting the few pictures I have. More will come eventually.

OK I finally got around taking some pictures. I'm still kind of sick but it was a nice day out and I only felt like putting 1 coat of Zaino on. Please ignore the bubbles on the spoiler if you can see them. I just put a clear bra on it and it takes about a month for them to disappear.

I think the new spoiler looks great and make the car look more sporty.

A nice close up.
