I chose not to fiberglass today. The template is badly warped and I have no other materials. Think I could fiberglass over paper-wrapped foam board? $2 would get me enough for the experiment tomorrow. Think it might warp as the glass & resin dries?

No drilling. I still think I will want to use maybe 5 neodymium magnets, 3 or 4mm high, with countersink holes to take screws that will point upward from the decklid. A hole cutting drill bit will make it possible to set the magnet into the spoiler so it lays flush on the decklid. Maybe 4 good layers of plastidip at the magnet/trunklid contact point could reduce unnecessary paint damage. A few self locking nuts could secure the spoiler to the protruding screws on the trunk. The spoiler material I am considering making out of 6mm black polymetal. Polymetal, I am assured, will not as easily warp, like these cheaper prototyping materials have.
