Default Chin spoiler install $$$

I FINALLY got my Cervini B2 chin spoiler in the mail and was wondering how much installation would cost me and how much some of you paid for your install. It already came painted, so thats done. I just don't wanna get ripped off (who does?). Thanks! You guys/gals are ALWAYS full of information!

DIY its not that hard I have the same chin. you have to drill a few holes...but it comes with a template and if you follow the directions its fairly simple! it took me maybe 30 mins to install. a few pointers to make the job easier..if you can..jack up the front of the car or use ramps, cause theres not a whole lotta clearance to get under this chin to drill the holes and insert the screws. the screws thet cervinis includes are a bit too short to get a really good bite on the underside! they kept backing out every few days...so i got some 3M tape and used it where the top of the spoiler meets the underside of the bumper and that solved that problem! the only part that made me nervous was the drilling of the holes on the side of the bumper, but if you line the template up like they show you and tape in in place so it doesnt move, it will be dead on!I was glad i did it myself in the end!

Do it yourself not too much of a big deal I did my classic chin with my brother without lifting car but given we didn't have to drill any holes for that one. I say DIY it'll prolly come out better than any bodyshop that would do it (you care more about your car than them). Plus it feels pretty good when you done.

Should be an easy install especially if they give you a template. I did my CDC in 15 minutes. Even the Roush hood scoop was very easy to install, the templates they give you are great.

One more vote for DIY. You'll be totally stoked you did it yourself when you are done.

Finally got the chin spoiler installed. I had my body shop do it for 180 (i have no power tools, yet ). Here are a couple of pics:




One step closer to my Boss tribute...

That's a nice BOSS style spoiler, but on a V6 Mustang? To each their own I guess.
