I WOULD NOT use a zip tie. Cheaper isn't always better, then again it is your car.

That would be awesome. From time to time the cheap fixes work just as well as the official solution haha. I know my front valance came with holes cut for fog lights, but I didn't need another set of fogs, so I used super glue, matte thick plastic, some duct tape, and heavy duty foam to seal them up, and nobody would know any better unless they decided to get under there and really feel/look around lol.

If you could take pictures of the process of trying zip ties out, that would be great too. I wonder how much it costs to get the official solution done.

I'm in your boat too, dealing with finals tomorrow, thursday and friday, it's a joy. Lol. Good luck on your finals!

I would loosen the wheel well and use a zip tie to tighten it to something behind the bumper..... but that's just me lol. My front chin spoiler was bent/sagging from a parking curb, so I rigged up a fix with some metal piece that came off some patio furniture. Looks perfect again and is sturdier than ever. Free DIY fixes FTW.

Mustang0672 Why not?

Pdonket Yeah, I'll take pictures of the process. And finals is both a joy and a handful lol. Good luck to you too!

07BLACKGT Yes, that's how my friend's brother explained so I'll take that route. And hey, it's always good to work on your car yourself right .
