My front chin spoiler or air dam whatever you call it is fallen off the second time. what do you use to keep it on? After the first time I just used a lot of RTV but that did not work.

I'm guessing this is a Saleen valance? One guy i know just rivetted it on and then did some body filler prep over top and once it was painted you couldn't tell it was rivetted. That might not help though if yours is already painted.

It's already painted and only the rear bumper was riveted on the saleen's. It looks like they first use glue but i'm not sure

I was thinking that but was not sure it was that strong.

Ditch it and put a REAL chin spiler on.

You could put it on a Saleen as well... you'd just have to trim and shape it differently.

This chin spoiler is off a 93 Bronco. I cut it and shaped it with a dremel and random orbital sander to get what I wanted before fixing it to the car with the existing nose support bolts and a few rivets of my own.

It will all depend on the look you're going for. If you have a Fox Saleen front air dam already then you might want to consider isntalling a custom splitter.

Just some thoughts....

A splitter would look good.
