Mach 1 Chin Spoiler...

trueblue02GT · January 13th, 2009, 07:51 PM

Got mine today...just a quick installation question from people that have them... should I use the hardware it came with? is it strong enough? OR should I just grab some screws from the shed and screw it into the bumper? or i have screws with ribbed plastic anchors... just wana know if the hardware it came with is good enough.

fatoeknee · January 13th, 2009, 07:58 PM

did you get the american muscle one or an oem ford one? ...I've installed the ford one and it seemed like the little plastic hardware screws it came with werent enough so i backed it up every so often with a small nut and bolt spaced out evenly

trueblue02GT · January 13th, 2009, 08:00 PM

American muscle one.

beast5319 · January 13th, 2009, 08:05 PM

trueblue02GT · January 13th, 2009, 08:06 PM
