Default Need help mounting a spoiler

Just picked up a great spoiler for my S-Typed. Is the STR design lip spoiler. Just wondering if anyone has measurements to mount it or do I just eye-it-out? I want it to be perfect. Let me know.
Thanks

I just used a tape measure and measured up from each tail light a couple of inches. You can eye ball it though and make it look perfect.

I am trying to put into words how I did ours. I figured out end to end where it goes. I pulled the 3M tape backing off maybe about an inch or two, leaving the backing on and using my thumb on the trunk lip and spoiler as a guide, stick small portion, pull backing off a few more inches, use thumb as guide as before and I worked it all the way across in small increments.

If you mess it up no biggie, just run down to the auto parts store and purchase a roll of 3M tape and try again.
