Attach the foam to the bottom of the spoiler, everywhere it makes contact with the trunk lid. The foam is primarily to keep things quiet, to cushion the spoiler from the top of the trunk lid. Put the foam circles around the screw holes - these also help in keeping water out of the trunk.
Get an extra pair of hands. Put the plastic tabs in the screw holes, holding them in place by the tabs. Position the spoiler on the car. Measure from each end to make sure its straight. Get down to eye level about five feet behind the car, it really becomes apparent if its straight or not. Measure from each end once more to make sure its straight. Once the spoiler is properly positioned, tape down the plastic tabs. Use racer tape if you have it (like duct tape but less sticky) or masking tape if you don't. Put two layers of tape down if necessary - you want to make sure the tabs don't slide.
Once the tabs are secured, lift off the spoiler (straight up, don't move the tabs!). If you have a 1/16" drill bit, drill positioning holes inside the plastic tabs. If you don't, use a pick or etc to mark the paint. Drill 1/8" holes for the screws from the top down. Best to do your drilling with the trunk open and your assistant holding the trunk in place wide open.
You will need to cut two access holes for the rearmost hole in each side. You should be able to line up the cutting location by sight without trouble. I suggest a dremmel with cutting wheel - you can cut a 1"x1" square without any trouble at all. Use a magnetic screwdriver and you can keep the access holes very small.
