Just got it today from Mustgangtuning.com, they sent it all folded up. Any suggestions on how to get the bends out? Especially from people who ordered from them.Also whats the best type of bit to use on the facia?

I used a 1/4" bit to drill the holes. I used the OEM retainers and it fit perfectly. It's a REAL easy install and if I can do it, anybody can...

Good luck.

I took doublesided masking tape and taped the spoiler in place. I use 1/4 self taping screws and drilled where the holes are. My 14 year old daughter helped my and it took 20 minutes.

Are you not worried about rust developing in the holes you drilled?

I want to buy and install one of these chin spoilers too but I'm a little worried about drilling.

I just installed one last week as well.. Really easy install.. I dont think it will rust since there was no metal drilling involved.. You are drilling into the plastic bumped on the underneath side.. The shavings off the drill bit were black.

Really easy install.. Hardest part was getting my drill under the car without jacking it up.. Considering how much I like the look now opposed to without it, 50$ and 15 minutes was well worth it!
