Default Chin Spoiler - Flush with well or front bumper?

I just got my chin spoiler in the mail today.

I'm excited! I'm letting it sit overnight to get the creases out.

Should I position the chin spoiler so that it sits flush with the front bumper or flush with the wheel wells? And why?

Cheers.

I'll post pics when I'm done.

My friend made his flush with the front bumper, I think it looks a lot cleaner, altho the gap at the well does look a lil odd, but I don't think it would look good with a gap in the front.

yeah...on a new edge i would have it flush with the front bumper. thats how the machs come from the factory. it just flows so well with the rest of the bumper if it is flush with the front.

chin spoilers on mach 1's are flush with the wheel well. it looks a lot better this way. it will look weird if there is a gap by the wheel well.

yeah...you're right. they are flush with the wheel wells. i could have sworn they were flush with the bumper. oh well. just line it up however you think it looks best. just tape it and have a look at both places and decide which you like best.

i think flush with the bumper looks best. you could always fab up a small piece ot put on each side outa either a damaged chin or some metal or something to fill in the small gap. i would have if i wouldnt have gottin rid of my stock bumper and chin.

I did mine a little of both. Its not at the wheel well, but its not quite flush with the bumper. Best of both worlds.

I made mine flush with the wheel well. And since my cars black, you can barely notice!
