I ordered the chin spoiler and it came today. There are four fairly large kinks or bends in the spoiler from how it was packaged. Has anyone else had this problem and did it come out? Thanks

Mine didn't come with kinks in it. I would call them and send it back or ask them about it.

Mine came bent in the middle. It would not return back to its original shape. But after installation there is no sign anywhere of the bend.

Exactly. Use a hair dryer and heat up the folded area.

Ditto.

I bought mine from the local Ford house and I had to lay the back seats down and it still barely fit in the trunk...

Just finished installing mine. I had it bent in 3 places when I received it also, but it wasn't a problem at all. The fasteners do a great job of holding it to the bumper very firmly.
