Looking at possibly getting a GT spoiler. How difficult is it to drill the holes without cracking the paint?

Masking tape over the area to be drilled and a bit of heat from a blow dryer is all you need :-D

So put tape over the area I will be drilling and drill through the tape?

Yes sir.. The tape prevents chipping and the heat prevents cracking.

Measure a billion times. Drill once.

Related question. What should I use to seal the spoiler when I put mine on? My car is a wagon and I don't want water leaking in.

Go to your local automotive supplier store (pep boyz/autozone etc.)
Get rubber gasket paper or rubber washers..

I definitely recommend high rpms, and work slowly. And I agree with everything said before me.

I have another dumb question. The spoilers for a BK and BG (raised roof) are the same right?

From the info on opposed forces yes they are same.
The BG roof slopes back to the same level as a BK..
