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

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..

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