Default Chin spoiler install becomes a hassal?

Well I had it all taped up and ready to go, so I drilled the first hole and tried pushing the pin in to hold it. The pin wen in fine, but my and my buddy both broke 2 plastic screws by trying to push them into the insert, and even if it went in the pin would fall out. Basically the pins seemed like sh**, so now I have 2 holes in the bottom of my bumper.[:@]I used the pins from AMuscle did anyone else have trouble with this? Oh well tomarrow Ill have some decent push pins to use and hopefully everything will go as planned. Ill get some pics of the car tomarrow too since I havnt really posted any.

Go to your local hardware store and buy some bolts! They are like $.49 each plus .15 for each nut! Also I have heard get washers so that the bolts don't pull through the plastic!
