Thomas · 12-22-2005, 11:24 PM

well i got my chin spoiler like two days ago but im having a prob.i took it out of the box the second it got here and let it sit so it could unfold from being folded during shipping, well it took its normal shape mostly but the mounting area is still really warped kinda. its really wavey.is this normal????should i just wait a few more days.. maybe get a heat gun or something?

Use a hair dryer or heat gun. It should flatten right out.

yea...i had mine all wrapped up too...i was distorted when i put on (but fairly striaght)....then when i took it off (stupid ice mounds ripped it off partially) it was perfectly flat...there are 2 ways u can mount it.....flush w/ the bottom of hte wheel well and have a lip in the front...or have it flush w/ the front and have a gap between the wheel well and chin spoiler....ur choice.....i like it flush in the front....just my $.02

They are not supposed to be flush up front.

No it does'nt.They don't line up right that way

Rejekt · 12-24-2005, 07:49 AM

Mine is still warped too after like 3 days sitting out, I'm just gonna use a hair dryer and heat it up. Yeah, it doesn't look right when you line the front up cause then the sides don't match the lines of the front bumper sides right. I'm lining my sides up, screw the little lip up front.

I ordered a chin spoiler from another website, and it did not come with install hardware. What have people used in the past from the local store to fasten it with. I don't want to wait for another package..

mustangvsix · 01-07-2006, 09:05 AM

i just went to autozone and got a package of bolts and nuts that would fit through the holes in the chin spoiler, no chance of mine coming lose anytime soon.

You can get the pieces from Ford, but expect to pay about $15.00 for the complete set.
