RE: chin spoiler
I do have one on my GT... but I bought it like that... so I don't know what else to tell ya LoL! If you want me to I can look at it and see how it's thrown on there (I've only had the car for 2 days, haven't gotten down and dirty with her yet LoL) But I'd be glad to help :-D

RE: chin spoiler
I was thinking of getting one to match my mach 1 delete grill i read about it and it really doesnt look that big of a deal the chin spoiler has the pre drilled holes you tape the spoiler to your car the way you want it using duct tape then you just drill through the predrilled holes and your done take off the tape and enjoy. 15min at the most

RE: chin spoiler
there is nothing to it. tape it where you want it and mark the holes where they line up with the pre-drilled ones on the spoiler.
drill them out and grab some regular body panel fasteners from your local parts shop......The lug type.....they just push in and voila. all done.
The drilling is a no brainer and it's underneath so you will never see it....and it's only a little piece of plastic you are drilling through anyway. You can use some 2 sided body tape tape help secure it, if it makes you feel better but you don't need it. The plugs will be fine.
The only problem I had was that I had to jack the car up to get the drill to go in straight because of the drop on mine.
One bit of advice is that the chin spoiler does not follow the curve of the front bumper and actually sits back about a quarter of an inch from the front. It gradually goes back to flush when it gets to the wheel wells. If you try to make it flush at the front, you will end up with a gap at the wheel wells.
FIRST - tape it exactly where you want it on each side......where it meets each wheelwell and then go to the center of the front and tape that next. Then just work your way back from there for a perfect fit. Drill the holes with it taped in place if you want or just mark them.
Go for it. You can't f**k it up.

RE: chin spoiler
I actually just ordered mine today from Mustang Tuning ($59 shipped). I’ve heard what Mike stated, that they’re not that bad to install. I’ll try to snap some pics and upload em when mine arrives (probably late this week or early next week)…
