Haha, I think you'll be the only person to resort to using a lift to put on the chin spoiler. Take a photo of the hardware they sent you, mine came with those common screw-tight plastic pushpins, if they switched to metal because they thought the plastic wasn't secure enough, I beg to differ since my chin was digging into the side of a ditch at 35mph. lol

Yeah I'll make you a cool sig as long as you take cool pics.

Fawk no, i got 3 pos plastic clips with my chin spoiler, i got it direct from ford. Man, those POS sucked bawlz

then i had this kickass indoor/outdoor heavy grade double sided tape, i used that and it held tight for about a year, untill my dumbass buddy tried to park my mustang and pulled the nose over the curb.

so after that i went with some small nuts and bolts.

and yeah, honestly, if yer that worried about weight reduction you should just take a **** before you drive cause that will weight more than the nuts and bolts. lol.

LMFAO! So true. I love seeing people that completly gut their cars out to loose weight off the car, and they are fat as hell themselves.

The new metal install kit comes with our new Chin Spoilers that we recently developed. While still the same shape and size of the original MACH1 Style Chin Spoilers, the new material is about twice as thick as the OEM style spoilers and cures back to original shape after being folded up for shipping exponential faster. It is also much more resistant to impact and damage then the OEM material, and can even be easily prepped and painted to body color. Consequentially it is slightly heavier, and since some people do have problems with the Ford OEM plastic hardware on the old kits, we decided to go with the beefy hardware kit to ensure the permanent attachment!

my only complaint is that once lined up with the edge of the bumper, the spoiler isnt long enough to make it to the ends of the bumper. about 1/2 inch on both sides.

Heres my gap. Equal on both sides, not too noticable but kinda annoying. I didn't stretch it because i didn't wanna force fit it on there.

You gotta stretch out it to get it right, that's why I just left mine recessed in the middle.

Pics, Dave.

Just install it with the sides flush and the middle recessed, the holes you drilled already shouldn't matter if you bolt it down tight enough.

It does NOT look bad

But if you mean 'throw out' with 'pitch it' (which I hope not), just send it to me. lol

Looks best flash in my opinion. But the small gap on the sides is so minimal its not even noticable really.
