OK so this is the first time I've had to put a wing on a car that didn't come with one stock. I got a wing for my GXL, and I'd obviously like to install it, but it didn't come with one from the factory, so what do I do? is there an adhesive I should use, or should I drill holes and bolt it down? For reference, it's a stock TII wing.

after you drill the holes put a little touch up paint on the raw metal to prevent rusting.

yeah carfully drill holes make sure u get them in the right spot, you might have to round out hte holes if you dont get them just right, to avoid leakage u could apply some kind of sealer around the holes then tighten the wing down, and it shouldnt leak

cool, sounds good. thanks. now I just have to wait for it to get here. I also plan on putting some kind of material between the wing legs and the body to avoid rubing/squealing. good or bad?
