I ordered a different replica spoiler and was trying to see if anyone can help me out with the install. I tried emailing the seller, but he hasn't been returning my emails.

I am just bored on this rainy day, trying to assemble it as much as I can before painting it, but I have no clue where these little anchor type bolts go?

I’m not certain, but it’s possible that how to attach it to the car. From the inside of the truck you run the anchor through the truck and spoiler, and then put the nail in to expand and lock it in.

Is that the ABS Dynamics spoiler? If so I ordered that one as well recently, to replace my previous one that’s common on eBay, this spoiler is better proportioned.

Just received my spoiler, also stumped what those could be for xD. Also the 6 smaller screws, they seem too short for any use.

The silver ones.
I took the spoiler to a few body shops and they were stumped as to where those 6 anchor looking screws go. Not to mention that both places I went to want to charge me $550-600 just to color match the spoiler...

Those "anchor type bolts" you are referring to are rivets in which you need a rivet gun to install them. I'm guessing they are to be used with the two smaller holes on the spoiler mounting surface. Check the diameter of the rivet (thicker part) to see if it fits through the smaller holes. If it's about the same diameter, I'm guessing you will need to drill the same equivalent diameter hole on the trunk of your car after lining up. Then slide the rivet through the lined up holes and pull the trigger on the rivet gun. My guess is that they gave you two extra rivets granted that they are to used on those two smaller holes on each side of the spoiler mounting surface

Just have this installed yesterday. Took the car on high way and haven't heard or notice reverberating ... Yet. Will see if it happens. Had the spoiler painted and installed at my friend's body shop for a good price. Body color on the base and gloss black center.

If I'm understanding you the color code for the car is on the sticker placed on the frame of the drivers door. It's up to you how you paint it I did color match for the two outer pieces of the wing and the top garnishes and vortex fins and the center piece of the wing I did it in black. But if you wanna color match the whole thing that is up to you and in sure it wouldn't look bad either. This is of course if I understood the 2nd part of your question of none of this applies just disregard this hahaha
