got my chin spoiler

dansgt · March 16th, 2009, 10:20 PM

so my parents got me the mach 1 chin spoiler for my b-day from american muscle, and i had a chance to install it today. of course, it didnt fucking fit, the damn thing is off by a couple fucking inches.

anyone else have this problem?

edit: after some fucking around and stretching it to where it should be i got it to work.

dansgt · March 16th, 2009, 10:24 PM

no i didnt take any i was too pissed, the sides are right, the center is too short.

Lefty · March 16th, 2009, 10:25 PM

Yeah get me pics so I can see if you have it installed in the correct position

Lefty · March 16th, 2009, 10:25 PM

Trust me, pictures will def. help us w/ this one

dansgt · March 16th, 2009, 10:28 PM

im not an idiot, i had it right, one side lines up perfect and when you go to line up the other side, just like in their directions, its way off. the center is too short.

Scott2001GT · March 16th, 2009, 10:29 PM

Scott2001GT · March 16th, 2009, 10:29 PM

I never said you were bro...I'm just tryin' to help out...

I've heard that their fitment can range from being 99.8% perfect to 85% perfect

mines worse, the sides are the perfect length, but the center is literally 2" short, you couldnt even make it look halfway decent.

which one...I love the new sig I did

PowerShiftz02GT · March 16th, 2009, 10:32 PM

yes thats on all of them.

if you want it flush then it wont fit to each side of the bumper. but if you want it to be even with the sides of the bumper then ti wont be flush. thats just how they are. On the mach 1's they are not flush with the front of the bumper.

Ok...sounds good! But yea as stated...they either don't fit right on the sides or on the front...but what I have seen people do is put it flush to the front then find a donor chin spoiler and cut the edges off and put them on separately on their car to fill the gap left from mounting the chin spoiler to fill the gap in the front. Know what I mean?

Yup. That's about the gap you'll have on the sides.
