so basically the pushpins on my chin spoiler suck and have been coming off so its like hanging off on one side now...whats the best kind of bolts or whatever to keep it sturdy for a while?

[Garhfer]

Use wing nuts

[GTsetGO]

yeah, what he said. everyone tends to use wingnuts anyway instead of the one provided with the chinspoiler

ya i just bolted mine up with wing nuts and bolts. there were a couple holes i couldnt reach to use bolts so i used the cheap pins there.

Just sell me the spoiler it is no hope

[mikeinta]

+1 but add locking washers to keep it from loosening...

zip ties!!!

[B0B]

lol i used zip ties as a side of the road fix on mine when i was on a road trip. they are still there and its been at least 4 months. i should take them off and do it right though +1 on the wingnuts.

[energiesource]

haha everyone uses them, they do their job
if they're good ones anyways.

[2000stangGT]

id use all all nuts and bolts whever possible with the spoiler. better safe than sorry. if you if you use 3, ends and middle itll hold the spoiler up if the plastic rivets fail

[energiesource]

now its not THAT big of deal but are you talking about a bolt then the wingnut on the bottom or like on both sides, wouldnt they show through?

[2000stangGT]

you would see the end of the bolt or wingnut(depending which way you do it) if you look underneath the car/bumper. but who actually does that? lol you cant see them unless you get underneath. nuts and bolt are the best way to mount a chin spoiler IMHO

[02MiNeRaLgRaYGT]

im supposed to get my chin spoiler today. guess the wingnuts are the way to go. any other tips i should know before i put it on?

use some painter's tape to hold it in place before you grill. make sure it's exactly the way you want it. once you start drilling holes, you've committed. it helps to have a second set of hands for it, but not required. i put mine on by myself

you use it to hold the steaks down. if you like your steaks like i do (rare- medium rare), they might try and get away while you're grilling them.
j/k i'm a little fried. i meant drill. it actually feels hot enough to grill on the sidewalk and i just got done changing my oil a little bit ago. not shade, no shelter, just hot freaking sun. see here:http://www.moddedmustangs.com/forums...tml?highlight=

i know, man. i could kick myself for all the times during the winter when i said "man, i wish it was summer already". the only relief we get from the heat is when it rains, and that makes it even harder to work on the car. i'm not hardcore enough yet to do it in the rain.

[GTsetGO]

hell, right now we are getting those little 20 minute showers that lower the temp, but as soon as the rain is done the frickin humidity takes off. ughhhhhh
