Info on installing chin spoiler...

CHIN SPOILER

Does anybody have experience installing this? Do I need to drill holes to install this?

If you don't have one already, yes, you need to drill holes. There are a few threads on this... try searching some more. I seem to remember that the key is to start from the middle. Or maybe the sides.... ahhh i forget.

When I did mine, I aligned the ends first, then the middle. The factory spoiler is very stretchy. You might not get the middle lined up if you start there, and up with a pucker on one side.

+1 on doing the ends first. Measure twice, cut once...

Seems to me the holes are "elongated" in the spoiler, a bit, too; allows for a little error/adjustment. Just measure carefully (yes, twice, everywhere) and you should be fine. Even a bad/slightly off, hole in the valance won't kill you; use the spoiler hardware brackets, and all is good anyway.
