I don't know the height but I would recommend marking it out and drilling the proper pilot holes for the screws you are using and then installing the screws and spoiler with a SCREWDRIVER so you don't either strip the metal out and not hold it tight, or get it too tight and crack the spoiler.89 Festiva L Carby 4 Speed...

You can see where the factory holes for the plastic grommets are in this pic of my hatches.Last edited by bravekozak; 11-05-2010, 01:06 PM.

Junespeed said 3M double sided foam tape would be fine. They are cosmetic. Any downforce is probably VERY minimal.Any difference that makes no difference is no difference.
