it's a mach 1 chin so it should be put on like a mach 1 chin. flush with the wheel well. flush with the front bumper makes it look 'unfinished' from the side and leaves a gap that just looks bad IMO. I put mine on flush with the wheel wells and it looks great.

 

mine is flush with the front, the gap on the side its hardly noticable

 

the real mach 1 does not have it flush with the wheel wells. believe me i have a mach1. you can even see the little gap on my sig pic.

 

the guy from autohow lied to me then

post pics of how yours lines up then?

 

let me see if i find some pics.

 

so whats this, like 1/2 inch from the wheel well?

 

LOL i guess my mach1 is a PHONY!!!!!! seriously all the mach1s ive seen have them like mine.

 

every mach i've seen has a slight gap :yes

 

mine is flush with the bumper lip,i think it looks better than sitting back in flush with the wheel well

 

yea but from the sides, the 1 inch to 2 inch gap from the wheel well looks stupid... but for the front it looks sick...

 

Mine is flush on both sides

But if you had to choose one, I'd say flush with the bumper.

 

wtf your a hackzor. let me see proof

 

is not really two inches.. i say is 1 inch at most.

 

ok... maybe i was exaggerating.. just a lil. hah
yea i know its only bout an inch, but its an inch to much.

i just want both of best worlds... fml

 

i got it used but its the original one.. you cant install it wrong because the holes are there from the factory. on the mach 1 at least.

talking about chin spoilers i have to get a new one.. mine is all ****ed up

 

ran into too many curbs?

 

I forget exactly where I got it (LMR I think), but all the urethane chins that they sell are flush on both the bumper and the wheel well.

 

how much more was that?

 

I think it was around $120-ish
Plus urethane doesn't crack like ABS plastic

 

owell. i already dropped $100. its all good though. itll still look good no matter how i put it on

 

Urethane bounces right back

 

Thanks man! It's a problem no joke, probably one of the biggest reasons my 60' time sucks so bad

 

my oem chin spoiler came from CJ Pony Parts and it first flush with the sides AND the front.

 

bastards at AM didnt send me enough screws and lock nuts

 

same here they shorted me a few as well

 

I battled with mine for like 3 hours no joke. The bastard would NOT line up. I had the whole fam damily in on my chin spoiler install. My dad accidentally drilled a hole through my bumper but it's hardly noticeable.

Questions: Means I already have the holes in my bumper from the one i have now, do you think it would be possible to grab one of the flush-fitting ones and still have it held in properly?

 

Yup, since you'll have to drill new holes in the new chin spoiler anyway

 

You think so? Hmm, I don't know man, I feel like the holes from the old spoiler and the holes from the new spoiler would interfere with each other if you get my drift.

 

So drill new holes in the new chin spoiler and use the appropriate washers?

 

my mustang + chin spoiler = rofl copter on lollerskates

 

It is supposed to line up flush with the front bumper edge; how else would it even make sense? Tons of stock car lips or even their actual bumper isn't flush at the wheel well. I need to see some pics where it's not flush with the front b/c that just sounds stupid.

 

its definitely not stupid. ill put up a picture in a minute.

I run an OEM lip BTW; it's not flush at the wheel well.

ehh whatever. i hated the little gap there was if it wasnt flush

I guess it just depends on the one you get.


How do you guys actually mount it? We started dead center, and then worked our way down one side, then the other.

You guys do it that way?

i duct taped it in place, having the edge of the spoiler perfectly flush with the wheel wells. i started drilling from both edges of the spoiler... the two wheel well drill spots and then i started moving in from there... this made it perfectly center

Flush with the wells is the way to go!!!
