Default CDC Aggressive Chin Installed.. Pics

I'd like to say thanks to pascal for the advice before installing it. I paid to have it installed since I've heard of many running into problems during the install... it ran me $88 to have it installed if anyone was wondering

I also don't rub when coming in/out of my driveway (sits at a slope)... on stock suspension


I need to find a way to mount the lower half of the billet grill too


You can see the gap on the passenger side of the bumper. That was the only fitting issue when installing it. I'm working on a way to fix on that now

How do you plan on fixing the gap?
I put on the CDC classic spoiler and had a gap there too.
Ended up taking it off until I figure out how to get it on without any gaps at all.

I figured I didn't have the bumper surface warm enough for the tape to bond properly.

Any tips?

The problem is that the chin is wider than the opening of the OEM bumper.

I did one on TOMBSTANG and I had the same issues...
Plus, the flat part of the mouth was bulging badly so I had to address that as well.
I never was 100% satisfied of this installation, even after all the extra work I did to it...
It's like the Roush center piece rear spoiler, it never sits flush on one side, never.

Not impressed with CDC chin spoilers

fatmat, the installer did good considering what he had to work with.
Good looking car too!

I have the same thing on my passenger side as well. I could not figure out how to fix it so I just left it that way. It has been on since June so I dont really care anymore. It realllllly bugged me for a couple of weeks but now I dont care anymore. I have been to a bunch of hangouts where people talk cars..and look at each others cars and not one person really noticed.
