Default SS spoiler?

I've done a search for this but I couldn't find anything about it so I'll ask.I bought a spoiler for 150 shipped from eBay and it came with foam pads so I put them on and when I was going to bolt it down it didn't have any studs to grab onto like the factory spoiler does, it just had 4 tiny holes where these small bolts that they provided are suppose to go.I don't see any way those little short bolts are going to hold it down.So my question to you all is what are some alternatives to securing it down because I'm clueless when it comes to this. I really want it to bolt on strong and tight.Any help is appreciated on what size bolts you used or how you did it.

I assume you bought one of the spoilers from "thespoilercompany" mine came with the foam pads and i had to takke the ones on the outsides of the spoiler off many people have had to do the same also. Once that was done you can anchor the spoiler down on the sides without an issue. then in the middle mine came with hole but i didnt wanna drill the holes into the deck lid so i left them alone again many people have done it this way.

myself included..

Also I used the supplied screws and put a lil silicone on them it was nice and tight until recently I noticed its getting loose, I was thinkin about getting some studs (or ripping out the ones in the stock spoiler) and use some expoxy or something to hold them in there
