sorry i might confuse you, i mean how do u know you are marked on the holes inside the trunk? Like mark and drill from the trunk side?
I have a 94 altima, im not sure does the wires work at the same color?
And tape the whole spoiler or just on position and drill?

Sorry im a little stupid and still working on my english
If you can list the detail steps i would appreciate that

Its the same thing for 1st gen's. Pretty much if you puncture perfectly in the middle of those holes your good to go. That's what I did, took me a little under one hour. Still got to wire the LED light though.

OMG, did TWO people really quote the entire original post?

And it looks goods man, I feel like it's off center though. Looks like it's too far to the passenger side of the car, by about an 1/8th of an inch.

^is it really off center?

Or is it just the angle of the picture? I notice your rear picture you are standing a little towards the drivers side of the car making the spoiler look like its off to the passenger side. I donno, could be my eyes playing tricks on me

I just wanted to add to the DIY, if you don't want to cut your harness to your 3rd brake light for any reason, you can use Auto-Tap Connectors. Here is a link to buy them (and a picture to look at if you want to buy it at your local auto store.
Here is a quick picture I made to demonstrate how they work.

There are two holes on the connectors, one that goes straight through and one that is blocked halfway. For the one that goes straight through, you lace through the stock harness and for the that is blocked, you put the spoiler wire in that one and crimp/push down the metal connector. That is the way I connected it, I'll try to take a picture of mine.
