I'm with you adam, I have a spoiler over here for my 92 as well :)  I just
need to paint it red and add some rust holes to get it to match the rest of
the car :)

I would make a paper pattern of the holes from the spoiler and then do some
careful measuring on the trunklid to get them in the right place.  You can
also put a dab of grease on each one, carefully set the spoiler on the lid
w/o sliding it, and then you will know where each hole goes.
