The other rear mod will have pictures taken in a day or so. But here are some additional photos of the spoiler.

To install this, it took the following steps:

1. Remove the existing spoiler
2. Take the trunk carpet out and remove the brackets to take the rod assemblies out.
3. Disassemble the rod assemblies and turn the angled face flat in a lathe
4. Drill & tap a new hole in the end of each rod.
5. Turn spacers to fit between the rod and the spoiler (or the spoiler sits to low and doesn't allow the truck to open when it is down)
6. Drill holes to relocate the rod assembly flange mounts
7. Grind the bracket that sits between the rear bumper and the trunk for clearance
8. Test fit multiple times until the spoiler travels up and down smoothly (then lock everything down)
9. Bolt spoiler top to spoiler bottom with OEM screws
10. Check your truck release cable to make sure that it is not worn (to avoid being locked out of the trunk at a future time since it this is a too common problem).
11. Enjoy.

This is not too hard, just took some time looking at it and playing around until it fit right. I really like the look of it and am happy that I did it. Once I started cutting the rods, I was in all the way! If it didn't work, I would have been looking in the classifieds for new rod assemblies.
