Broken chin spoiler... what are my options?
 

Hey guys/gals... need some ideas:

Caught a bad dip, and ripped the driver's side of my chin spoiler off (Also managed to rip off the black plastic guard in front of the driver-front wheel)...

For now, she's duct taped:

What are my options?

(Here's what I've come up with so far)

Option A:
Is the chin spoiler "removable"? If it is, and I do remove it, how should I go about filling the holes? (I'd almost rather not put a new one on for fear of repeat.)

Option B1:
Assuming the chin spoiler isn't "removable", can I drill out the "rivets" (or whatever they are)? Then plug (and with what)?

Option B2:
Same as above, but instead of plug, would a Lip cover the existing holes?

Option Z:
Replace entire front bumper, repaint??

That part is a replaceable option. Put a new one on for $125 or so, or just remove it. Don't sweat the holes..

yah, if you're having bad luck hitting it consistently where you drive, just drill out the rivits and remove it completely.

if it was a rare occurance then drill it out and get another one, use screws/nut if you dont have a rivit tool.

Awesome! Thanks Modshack!

Now, anyone know the part number for the black shroud that sits in front of the front wheels?

Yeah, most of the roads around my home are very crested which makes it almost impossible to turn onto a different street without dragging the chin.

yah, just remove it then.

I wouldn't remove it because it serves as a protection reinforcement if you bottom out and it protects your front bumper or aero lip..mine protected my carbon evor lip many times.
