is it hard putting on the stock 3-piece wing?

[TuRBo'DTWiX]

I have a 90 eclipse GS w/o the spoiler or the more aggressive look of the upper model gsx's and gst's. I want to make it look like a stock gsx and i am looking to put on the 3pc stock wing but ofcourse there wont be holes or anything. How hard would it be to install it? Can't i just drill holes and use the brackets? I am also assuming the front bumper, rear bumper, and sideskirts should be easy to swap

For cars that had the 3 piece stock:
There is one hole on the side of each quarter panel. In that hole there is a female insert in which the male plastic piece on the "winglet" will go into, getting the insert out could be a PITA. On the back of the quarter panel near the hatch there are brackets that I believe go on with two bolts each, should be easy to drill out for that. On the hatch itself the wing is held on be two bolts on near the edges, and numerous clips, may need to cut out a number of rectangular holes for those.
It has been awhile since I removed a stock spoiler, someone correct me if I am wrong on anything.

in other words i would just have to drill and cut a bunch of holes. Can our hatch metal be cut by a common jigsaw?

I don't see why not, it is just sheet metal. I would use a very good jig saw, a very sharp blade and a steady hand though.

interesting any screws or bolts (holes in general) in the mid support in the center of the hatch??

no screws in the center of the hatch, each hole will be on the ends of each piece of the wing.

Excellent. Thanks!
