To those with the Mach 1 chin spoilers...

Where's the best place to locate the push pin rivets everyone is talking about? Also do they go into the front bumper by force or is there a spot they are clipping to? I searched around but didn't find any pics of the underside with the thing mounted.

I did the rear bumper sag fix and know the rear bumper at least cut like butter, wondering if the front bumper is similar to just push the rivets through. Thanks guys and gals.

Use an appropriate sized drill to drill through the existing bumper. Push the rivets through the chin spoiler into the bumper.

yeah what he said but make sure the you first find the center of the bumper and install outward to have it even on both sides

I saw one post where a member was using some rather large body shot vice grips to
hold the spoiler in place.
Seems like a good Idea as you will only wnat to drill holes once.
I can't find the post, I remember it had photos

I just bought a bunch of stainless washers and self tapping screws and put them in with a drill,it wont budge.That was my methode.
