Default RS spoiler install?

I got an RS 3 piece spoiler from the junkyard yesterday. The 2 side pieces that go on the quarter panels have 3 studs on them. You have to drill holes in the quarters to put the studs through to install the pieces. What is the best way to mark the quarter to make sure these get put on straight? Is there a template anywhere online that I can use?

Maybe put clay on the car and set the pieces in place where you want them and then push down for impressions to mark where to drill.

Cant you use the car they came off of as a patter for a template??? Cardboard would work in a pinch Just line it up on a bodyline I did one years ago Drunk & it came out perfect BUT I dont recommend that for 1st timers LoL Triple check & measure DRILL ONCE!!!!

We just took the studs out and used double sided tape for it. It held up to 100mph for quite a while. Just took the spoiler off to put on a SS one though. Its loads better than having 2 holes in the quarter panel to fill in later if you ever change your mind.
