Well thinking about it the chin spoiler IS plastic and somewhat flexible, I wonder if theres a certain method to installing it like maybe you first install the both sides flush with the wheel well then pull it forward and stretch it as much as you can so that when you drill the holes it's flush with the front?

Doesn't sound possible.

Don't mean to rain on your parade but i think it would have looked better if you would have lined it up flush with the front bumper. The 1/4 inch difference on the ends aren't noiticible. Just doesn't look right to me but thats my opinion, to each his own.

I would have to agree now that I have already mounted it.

After drilling the holes, is it possible to re-mount it in a different position? Wouldn't the holes be in different spots and all I'd have to do is just go out and buy new push pins?

If not possible, I can deff live with it.

I'm actually thinking if I just take off the front pins and attempt to "stretch" the plastic to the front and drill new holes to attempt to make it fit "correctly". I'm just scared to flex the spoiler too much and crack the paintjob.

Any thoughts?
