Mine came with the car as it's a Sport model, but I also believe it attaches via mounting tape, much like the window visors. The tape is incredibly strong.

The service manual shows double-stick tape... And maybe some other type of fastener.

You can skip the drilling and just use mounting tape and some type of adhesive.

I mounted a hatch spoiler using mounting tape and RTV silicone adhesive. It's not going anywhere

I wouldn't be too concerned about drilling the holes if Suzuki has designed it that way. But that being said, they probably made it to be installed by a body shop, so they may expect some body working knowledge.

Automotive tape can be unbelievably strong. Just be sure there's enough of it so you don't lose your spoiler going down the highway! :0

I have one mounted, and Holes were drilled. Apparently they can fall off with just the tape.

Nice spoiler , the oem one I have comes with a replacement rear light which attaches to the spoiler , then the spoiler attaches to the trunk , probably will have to drill holes , as it seems to support the light , lkit also comes with new trunk lifting rods, didn't think there was that much extra weight , will see first how trunk operates before changing those out
