Chin Spoiler Wavy

Steeda97 · 09-20-2007, 08:54 AM

This damn thing is still wavy after 3 days. It also was a little bit cracked in the crease between the actual spoiler and the top piece. Should i just go ahead and install it? Or wait some more?

mine looked somewhat like that when I put mine on it turned out great. Once you get the bolts in it forms its shape. I had a buddy help me though it made it easier I drilled the holes and he held it so it stayed flush with the front bumper

If you putting in on yourself, get some real sticky duct tape to keep it in place. Set the corners first, they should be flush with the wheel well. Then tape it up and place it how you like it, drill and screw and you're done. Also, I started inserting the screw at the center, and then went from side to side to ensure it stayed put.

Install it on a hot(ter) day so the rubber is more.......rubbery.

Here are some pics as to how it should look...mine is not perfect because it's been through a lot. And if anyone says not to trust the plastic push pins, fuck em. My car bottomed-out going into a ditch with the chin dragging on the ground and it held on fine, and still does.

This part should be FLUSH on both sides

The middle recesses back
