When I did mine I wiped the car surface down with rubbing alcohol and paper towels to remove dirt and oils. And I aligned everything using masking tape to make sure my lines were straight.
Here's a HINT: to help you with centering, raise your rear spoiler manually (using the button on the drivers side kick panel) - when it's up you will see there is a bolt that holds it in place, which is directly centered to the back of your car. Use that as your frame of reference for centering and it will line up perfectly.
Thanks for the tip!
