I picked one up for my 89 but wondering how to attach. The center section seems to be pretty strait forward. Bolts and riv nuts or rivets. The side wings I'm kind of stumped on. Some sort of adhesive? Glass them in?

They will eventually be molded in with filler or glass when I paint, but not sure what to do until then.

That's a modified copy of the '06 Silverado SS Intimidator edition spoiler. On the original application, there's a couple small metal brackets that are used to attach the corner pieces. If they did a reasonably good job of copying the originals, you could bend up some brackets to adapt to your bed shape. Pics stolen from SilveradoSS dot com forums:
