mach1 chin spoiler problems
so im havin problems with the chin spoiler...long story short: it doesnt stay on very well..the things they give you to hold it just dont hold it there...I have lost 3 screws. I also dont think the holes are where they need to be..I think there should be more support on the curves of the car, not equal spaces the whole way. I was thinking possibly using double sided tape to help keep it there..then use real nuts/bolts/washers instead of the little screws and christmas trees. Also I will redrill holes and make a few more on the curves.
Has anyone else done something different..I know people that do the nuts/bolts/washers but is there any other options or ideas?

nuts/bolts/washers is the best thing you can do, usually there isn't holes in the bumper for the chin spoiler already, i had to have my holes drilled in the bumper and used nuts and bolts because they are alot more durable than those crappy plastic things

What-ever you decide to use, if it's a metal fastener, go with stainless steel. No rust issues.
