How difficult is it to install an aftermarket spoiler? What kinds of tools would I need? I have a 2000 dodge neon

I did one on a Mitsubishi Eclipse and it was easy. The one I bought from eBay was already painted and came with a set of plastic drill guides that showed me exactly where to drill five holes in the trunk lid. I drilled the holes...cleaned them up and dabbed a little paint on them (to prevent rust). Since some Eclipses have spoilers there was a connector on the trunk lid for the brake light that was in the spoiler. Two wire crimps and four bolts and the job was done.

It depends on what sort it is. A wing that's mounted on pedestals usually just requires drilling four holes or so with a hand drill and bolting it on with a pair of wrenches (or sometimes a screwdriver).
Some lip spoilers that blend into the bodywork need a bit more work. In this case, you'll need to bolt it on first, and then use some body filler to blend it into the contours of the trunk lid before painting it. Requires some files and sandpaper, besides painting equipment. Some companies recommend leaving installing this to professional body shop technicians.

The spoiler comes with instructions.
wingswest.com has info on it.
