Default Trouble installing Chin spoiler???

My buddy has a 94 GT and just ordered a chin spoiler from musangtuning.com. He's having trouble installing it, did you guys have to drill into the front bumper to attach it? Any advice would be appreciated

Also make sure you line up the ends with the wheel wells.

I've done 3 of these. By far the easiest way is to use large headed self tapping screws. Just tape the spoiler in place and screw it on.

YES, big fat self tapping screws are the best.

when i installed mine for the first time i pre-drilled and used screws, regular size, just bigger then the hole i drilled. and it did not hold good. Now i have huge self tapping screws and it holds it on like a champ.

nobody has ever heard of nuts, bolts, and washers?

drill the holes......put nuts bolts and washers in to hold it on........will hold way better than any self tapping screws. but self tapping screws will work too.
