OEM Chin Spoiler Install?

Guys,

I received my chin spoiler today and it comes with an 8 page instruction manual. I'm afraid to attempt this and may call a body shop for the install.
Have any of you attempted this install?

Thanks,
Ron

read the manual first and if you come across anything that you dont understand or think youll screw up then take it to a shop. should be straightforward though.

You probably will at least want to get someone to help you to make sure you can line everything up right and hold it in place, etc. I've read some say it was difficult and others said it wasn't that bad. So I guess it all depends on how experienced you are with that kind of stuff.

Might also want to call up a reputable tuner shop and ask what they'd charge to install it. Since you have the part and know exactly what you need you should be able to get some quotes over the phone -- your decision may become easier once you find out how it's priced.

I installed the lip on my old '06 and had a buddy help me do it. Doing it solo would be very difficult to get it to look right in my opinion. I would suggest taping off the old bumper with painters tape to avoid scratching the paint when you're going for fitment. I had to drill two separate holes on the driver side after fitting the passenger side. I thought the first one was correct but after fitment it didn't line up. Nice thing was that both holes were covered by the lip either way. Take your time, do it right and it'll look good. If you don't have the time, patience or help to do it right, take it to a shop.

I took it to a local body shop and they installed for $50.

Enjoy,
Ron

I say the easiest way is to mock up the lip, mark where the holes will be, then drill. I used the stencils and some of the holes didn't match up.

Did the installed myself, it wasn't too bad took me about 2 hours, double checking, triple check on the drilling portion. But once you have it drilled in placed, the spoiler has a lot of slack to adjust it accordingly.
