Default Need Spoiler Install Help

So I bought this spoiler.
eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices

It came with the spoiler, 5 screws and some cardboard strips with holes in them (some kind of piece to tape down for holes, I assume). No instructions.
I could figure something out, but what is the proper location to actually mount the spoiler. I don't want it to far up or to far back. I can keep it from being crooked but need help on the rest.

The proper area is where you like it. Something to consider is access to the bolts from under the deck lid. Most likely you will need to drill through the deck lid and also through a reinforcement underneath. You want to plan ahead for how difficult a spot you pick will be.

You are certainly welcome. Looks good... and yes, I really dig that color as well. But raising the hood does not make it a front spoiler.

Yeah, I took the pic for the struts, then later realized I didn't take one for the spoiler, so dual use. I'll take a shot with the hood down and post later.
