Installed!

Had some free time to do the installation and it was pretty easy.
To install the rear window spoiler:
1. With the plastic still attached to the double sided tape, I dry fitted the rear window spoiler to make sure that everything fits fine and that I got the right thing. (It sits on the glass by the way)
2. I cleaned the area with rubbing alcohol.
3. I used the adhesion promoter pads that Paradox Systems provided to wipe the area that the tape would be touching the glass. Its not a huge pad so I worked quickly to rub the area down before the pad dried.
4. With a friend's help, I placed the rear window spoiler on the window, with the tape still attached to the double sided tape.
5. Holding one side down, I started to remove the plastic off the double sided tape, and pressed the spoiler down while pulling the plastic off. ( If that was hard to understand, basically I put the spoiler where it was supposed to be and pulled the protective plastic off the double sided tape while it was held down so it just fell into place... hope that makes more sense )
6. Done!


Eyelids..

To install these, I dry fitted these quite a few times, trying to figure out how I was going to press it into place and what lines needed to line up in order for me to stick them in the right place. These seemed like a one shot deal, so I had to make sure that I had it right.

I would reccommend doing the same, just dry fitting the eyelids as much as possible, trying to figure out how you're going to press it into place once the tape is exposed.
