You'll need to remove your current three piece spoiler and weld up the mounting holes that will be left behind. These holes are visible and are about 1/2" in diameter. There are three on each side and four or five on the hatch if i remember correctly. Next, get the highrise spoiler you want and mount it. Paint and you're done. Check this link...

Hey thanx guys for the tips! Though I am not a very good welder, any idea how much Macco will charge me to weld the spots?
And do you guys think ebay is a good place to get a high rise wing? Ebay wants $85... and that link wants about $185. Thought I would rather pay the $185 and know that im getting a good product rather then risk ebay (Again)

The ones BRAND NEW from Ebay that are $85 or so fit like crap from what I've heard/seen.

It's not hard at all. You should already have wiring there for the third light in your three piece spoiler. There are a couple of tabs on the bottom of the hatch that make contact with a plate when the hatch closes. That plate is separated into four sections (I think) and has 12vdc (switched by your braking system of course) and ground wired to it. So, when your hatch is closed and you depress the brake pedal, 12vdc is passed to the third brake light. Doesn't matter if it's the original or a new one. As far as how the wiring gets down to the hatch, it's routed through one of the center pillars to the underside of the hatch. Just need to make sure there's an extra hole for the wires. In any case, it's a piece of cake. The instructions illustrate it well if I've done a poor job of explaining it.

Hope this helps...
