chin spoiler issue

02Sandstorm · March 13th, 2011, 07:37 PM

hey guys. My awesome girlfriend just suprised me with new chin spoiler for my bday. She got it from AM and they apparently did a shitty job packing it. It's kinda bent and warped looking, i assume they're like this until you get them on..? any of you guys know from experience?? thanks

my brothers was the same, let it sit in some sun, that is if you wanna leave it out...or jusyt let it sit over night and it should be fine the next day...my brother did that, and it looks like it was never folded

Just call them up and ask them if that's normal, be nice about it, the people at AM are very helpful.

"the chin spoiler was a little bent but I left it inside and let it warm up a bit so it was more flexable when it came time to install"

pulled off of another thread. i wouldnt worry about it just install it and it should be fine. ive gotten bumpers that were completly warped looking untill i bolted them up and they look fine. just my opinion without pictures..... those would help

I believe they ship the chin spoilers like that so save on space (thus making shipping cost less on their part, seeing as how we get free shipping). You can let it sit out in the sun to loosen it up or use something like a hair dryer to warm it up quicker and gets the bends out of it.

THATS WHAT SHE SAID^^^

They come like that. that material takes original shape once you install it.

Well i have nothing to add. The chin spoiler is made out of flexible plastic bucause people like me will lowered cars scrap it allot...lol Just let it unwind and when you put it on it will be straitened out.

+1 AMEN to that! My chin spoiler scrapes so much as well... It looks ugly now! Might be a good time to change it now, idk...

^^^ Mine is looking the same..lol.. Scraped 30 too many times.. Gotta love lowered cars.. I does make your ride look that much better!!

zinc-vert02 · March 14th, 2011, 09:49 AM

i will see what mine looks like when it shows up at my door tmrw

MRKsD3 · March 14th, 2011, 09:54 AM

Man, just thinking about replacing it is making my back hurt already! I remember installing that damn thing with all it's 100 bolts and nuts! Plus my floor jack is too big to fit right under the car, I have to raise it from one side first with my stock car jack, then slide the floor jack in the middle front!

One "lowered car" downside I guess...

ag11hockey · March 14th, 2011, 12:51 PM

let it sit somewhere kind of warm for a little while. mine was like that too so i let it sit inside in the house while i was in the garage workin on other shit and by the time i got to the spoiler it was a little better. plus once you install it, it straightens out and looks fine lol

BTW, get some new OEM headlights. Judging by your car in your avatar. They look extremely fogged.
