Front Chin Spoiler

igotcabada · 04-24-2012, 12:50 PM

Hi,
I never attached the chin spoiler on my 40th when I first got it figuring I would just scrape it up, but I'd like to put it on now but cant figure out the clips I have for it. All the dealer provided was the chin spoiler and clips that have a plastic circle halfway down on a metal piece that looks like a nail. The plastic covers one side of the metal nail piece. Am I missing something? Any help is appreciated, also tried to search on here for a DIY or something and couldnt find anything.

you need a rivet gun for the rivets...

something like this. i dont know the exact size you need:

Amazon.com: rivet gun

you can also use traditional nuts/bolts/washer. place your car on ramps, chock a tire. then go under the car, mount the deflector where the large tabs go into the bumper. then mark your holes for the fasteners and drill. there's plenty of room inside the bumper where you will be able to tighten the nut without removing the bumper.

This is definitely not as easy as they made it out to be. Thanks for getting back to me
