Hello,

I dont know anything about the install of a one piece wing. But I cant imagine it is not that hard to install. I did both the hatch and a three piece spoiler install on my 89 along with about every other piece of sheet metal. I can tell you the spoiler install is way easier than the hatch. You need two people for the hatch. It is bolts with alot of adjusting to make it look right. The 89+ 3 piece spoiler was real easy. I bought it off of ebay for $85.00!!!! I am assuming the one piece is similar. Their are bolts/studs coming out of the bottom of the spoiler. If you pull the plastic trim on the inside of the hatch and center the spolier you will see how it all lines up. I centered the spoiler and marked around the little bolt/studs with a pencil, made sure it worked on the back side of the hatch and drilled the holes. I then drilled a hole for my spoiler brake light and everything was good. The sides in the three piece were a little harder I had to go to toyota to buy the little plugs that have to be put into the side of the car. They are what hold the side pices on. Oh almost forgot. On the ends of the side pieces and the spoiler their are screw holes. I drilled the holes and bought sheet metal screws. But overall it is just a matter of lining things up and drilling holes. So in my opinion if your hatch is fine, just add the spoiler. If you want to keep your car stock looking and year specific put on the one piece. But I think nate is right the three piece looks better and its not a hard install.
Good luck!!!!
