Need help with spoiler install

Well, i purchased a spoiler yesterday (non-oem) and wanted to install today since I am not working. Since my car does have a back up camera, will I have to remove the chrome piece? If not, do I drill an additional hole for the wire to go thru the trunk and where? I took the chrome piece off and it seems the camera is held in place by a bracket which the non-oem spoiler doesn't have, so I "think" I am suppose to leave the chrome piece. No instructions came with it, so I'm lost in just that part. As for the two holes to mount the spoiler, that I can easily drill.
Any help is appreciated, thanks guys.

If the new "non oem" spoiler will fit over the chrome and you can make the camera work too then I would go that route. Where did you get this "non oem" spoiler?....egay?

Well it's hard to say if it's not OEM .... depends on the instructions. OEM you remove the chrome, drill about 6-8 new holes and two of them are very large, 19mm.

Dang you went all the way back today? I thought riverside was gonna install it for you too? PM Raul and see if he's got time to help. I'd be willing to help being that I wanna add it to my car too. So I wouldn't mind tagging along and helping for some learning experience.

Get the rust preventative ... I went to my local body shop I've used before (not the G), they gave me a small bottle. Check the templates three times before you drill!
