This years Second Mod done Chin spoiler

[LeoVampire]

I got the chin spoiler and the new license plate holder on her today WOOPY!

They shorted me 6 bolts, 12 washers and 6 nuts so I had to run out to the hardwear store and grab some more but that was easy enough.

The license plate bracket was cracked by a former neighbor's car and I got tired of seeing it @ the car shows that way.

But I decieded to go against the install instructions and mount the center of the chin spoiler first. I wanted to make sure the center hole on the spoiler matched the same position as the center tooth on the bottom of the bumper cover and work my way out to the sides.

It came out perfect as far as I am concerned.

Just one suggestion take the 2 covers underneath the bumper cover and driving lamps to make the job that much easier.

But before you put the bolts in for the bumper cover and chin spoiler place them back in and drill a hole through these pieces as well so that when you do remount them the bolts from the chin spoiler slips through and you can remount them easily.

Lookin g00d!!!

[LeoVampire]

Lookin g00d!!!

Thanks TAKEDOWN

I am glad I am getting all of this done to say the least. Each year more and more is getting put on the car I had wanted to do for a long time now.

[fastblackmerc]

Looks good!

I installed my chin spoiler with 1/4" plastic push-rivets. If the chin spoiler happens to get ripped off the bumper won't get damaged.

[Mr. Man]

Looks good Dave.

[tbone]

Very nice! Where did you get the spoiler?

[MOTOWN]

ohhhh this is getting good bud! and where did you get the spoiler? i think im sold!

[jus4kix03MM]

Looks great! I think I need one now. Lol

[CBT]

Nice man, where'd you order the chin spoiler from?

[Blackened300a]

Great job bouncing back from illness just a year ago to modding the Marauder again. :up:

Thats the best to do it, start at the center and work your way out. It will never line up starting from the sides.

[Mercguy04]

Now that makes the front of the car look finished.
I like this.
Where did you order the spoiler from???????

Nice! You made that?

[Mebot]

Did it come folded up in the box or one straight piece? Will I need to lay it out in the sun to bend back to original?

[CBT]

That's what she said.

[LeoVampire]

Did it come folded up in the box or one straight piece? Will I need to lay it out in the sun to bend back to original?

It came folded yes but it fixed it's self sitting on the floor in front of the heater in my dinning room while it waited to go on the car seeing it was still snowing out around here at the time. Or you could use a hair dryer to do it as well.

It was not a big bend or tight fit in the box so the fold was light and minimal.

[LeoVampire]

It will be a new addition very shortly. Hes working out a price at the moment then it will be up on his site.

I would have waited if I knew just wanted to grab one while I had the money and the price was a good deal.

Now that you posted all the how to pics, I see othrs buying one, I know I will. :beer:

[Mac-MerC]

I've read alot of reviews of that product on that American Muscle site and most ppl say its a good piece... but they complain about it being "rolled up" in the box.. and some say theirs was warped... but $84 is a good damn deal... i forgot what ford was gonna charge me, but i remember that it was a lot

Thanks! The one on your link for the Mustang fits the Marauder?

[LeoVampire]

Yep that is the one I put on my Marauder.

They never made one for our car but the Mach 1 chin spoiler fits just fine.

[visionmercury]

i so have to do this , every time i see a new thread or pics

[bigdhasmoney]

i just bought one. Thanks....

[Mr. Man]

Anyone got one on a SB that they painted SB? Pics

[fastblackmerc]

Leave it black. Looks better.

[rayjay]

Leave it black. Looks better.

I agree with Jim. I have seen them on DTRs and they look great black. I have not gotten one because I know I'll wreck it hitting curbs, speed bumps, ect. Painted it would be even worse.

[Mr. Man]

Leave it black. Looks better.
Not my call. I think Paula just wants to see what a silver one would look like on a silver car.:)

[tbone]

Yep that is the one I put on my Marauder.

Just ordered one. Thanks Leo!:beer:

[LeoVampire]

Just ordered one. Thanks Leo!:beer:

Your welcome!

I made it into and out of our driveway by the skin of my teeth without the spoiler hitting but I had to go in and out @ and angle street wise for it not to hit.

:woohoo: I did not know if I would make it or not the way the ramp into the driveway is from the street.

[tbone]

Looks good!

I installed my chin spoiler with 1/4" plastic push-rivets. If the chin spoiler happens to get ripped off the bumper won't get damaged.

I'm going to install my spoiler tomorrow. So you removed all the nuts and bolts that hold the front cover on and replaced them with the push rivets? How is it holding up? I bought the plastic rivets today but have not had the chance to look at it since it was mother's day.:depress:

[tbone]

Put it on today. Used the plastic rivets. It was a little tricky lining it up but I got it done and it looks good.

No, I used the plastic rivets to mount the spoiler.

[Mercguy04]

I like this product. The price that American Muscle is selling it for is a bargain compared
to the one on ebay here is the URL for it. Look at the price difference between the two.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330548391863&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Wow what a difference. I wonder if the material each one is the same. I will call AM
tomorrow to find out. It is hard to believe the price difference

[J.bo]

This is waiting to go on the Marauder now.

Waiting for the paint to come in so I can match it to my engine color work.

What is the part # for the Rabestos rotors and who sell those rotors?

[sailsmen]

very informative, thank you.

Good to see you posting about working on the Marauder.:)

[LeoVampire]

What is the part # for the Rabestos rotors and who sell those rotors?

Part numbers below for the rotors. They are drilled, slotted and balanced directional rotors with a life time guarantee not to warp or crack.


Left side front and rear

680110PL

Right side front and rear
680129PR

I know Rock Auto carries them. They use to be part of Raybestos Super Stop line but now are part of their Advance Tech line brake parts. There is a sale going on right now for them from Raybestos through Rock Auto parts. But I had gotten mine through a local parts store seeing they carried them.

FWIW, I bought my Royal Purple oil from American Muscle. They had the best price and no shipping charge. Beat my local NAPA by $2 a quart.

[tbone]

Here's mine.

[tbone]

There's a slight twist up on the driver's side. I'm going to try a heat gun on it. I installed it dead on.

[LeoVampire]

Here's mine.

:coolman: I need to get mine out of the garage and take some day light pics as well this week.

I think I have the same look with mine installed as well what looks like a slight twist.

Yours is on the right as well. I didn't want to say anything. I have a high powered heat gun that I bet will take it out.

[LeoVampire]

Once I have the brakes on the car and done tomorrow I will pull her out and see what I can do with it. I don't have a heat gun but I am sure in the sun and a good hair dryer I should be able to take care of it as well. Or @ least I hope :confused:

[tbone]

I used the heat gun and it's a lot better. I really don't think a hair dryer will get hot enough. You can always buy one and return it when you're done. Sneaky, but..........

I just tried to get the waves out of my aftermarket front grille with my heat gun and now it's worse. Time for a new OEM one.

I am not worried about it that much anyways it still looks better than it did before I put it on the car completes the front of the car a lot more than it was.

But sorry yours got worse rather than better!

The spoiler is near perfect but the grille was ruined.

[tbone]

[LeoVampire]

The nose of our car is a bit longer than the mustangs so it will not go out to the very end of the bumper cover like it does the Mustang that is why they say it will not work.

But it looks and works fine for our car just doesn't sit exactly where it does on the mustang.

Many have put this on their cars already and have no issues with where it sits or how it looks.

[Mac-MerC]

Do i take out the other bolts that are already in the bumper and try to align the holes in the spoiler?..... its seems so simple but im dumb founded by this. how about someone come and put mine on for me?... i'll give u like 10 bucks.... i am serious

It is not that hard a job to do yourself.

Take a trip to a local parts store and buy some cheap body style vice grip clamps with the extra wide opening in the center of them.

Use them to align it the way you want and hold it in place while you drill your holes.

On the first post of this thread is a picture of the vice grip clamps I am talking about I think it is the second picture they have blue ends on them.

Drive up to Raleigh, NC and I'll install it.

Use blue painters tape to mark the center of the spoiler and bumper. Use more tape or clamps to hold it in place. Drill your holes, push in the rivets.

Part numbers for 1/4" push rivets:

NAPA - 665-2394 or 665-2160

AutoZone & Advanced Auto Parts - Dorman P/N's: 799-110, 799-146 or 961-050
