Same one I have. Looks good. I need to "refresh" the fasteners" after 2 years.

Anyone ever paint their chin spoiler? Mine's fading.

1/4 inch push pins for the win. Also used 3 small self tapping screws to hold it in place for the push pins. Gotta drill holes in the bottom of the bumper for the push pins.

Well I thought the same thing. I purchased my Marauder used and there was one in the trunk with the mounting kit. I took it to have it installed at an auto glass shop and they did not want to drill holes, and recommended against that?

So now my question is do I have the wrong one or do they all need to be drilled. Does the proper one line up with existing holes?

It looks to be the correct length etc. :confused:

Put the spoiler centered up against the front air dam and adjust as needed, hold in place w/ tape etc, drill the center hole put in screw to hold in place then drill on each end and put in screws, do the rest, simple.
Drill the holes and put it on w/ 1/4" screws and nuts and stand back and take it the beauty of how much better it looks. For me I won't own a Marauder without one...2 Marauders owned- 2 Marauders w/ chin spoilers owned..& trunk wing also.
As far as the screws, on my 1st Marauder the chip spoiler came with push pin type. At high speeds they pulled out and luckily the end push pins held. So I got the screws & bolts and replaced all push pins, On 2nd Marauder the chin spoiler seller gave a option of push pins that came with it no extra cost or metal screws & bolts for extra cost...you already know which way I went.. JUST DO IT!!! End results will be...:bows:

You got good ones or was lucky or maybe you just go that fast once. I go that fast often and they pulled out so I won't use push pins.

If it came rolled up in a box you might needed to let it lay in sun but since its on already the sun should help with that, at least on my 1st car it did.

Notice U'r in the HEB-cities, I'm in Mansfield/S. Arlington. A member, LG88 was talking of doing a Marauder meet-up( Welcome area) and was talking about today but not sure if anything happened because of the possibility of rain. I texted him at 4pm but got no response so not sure if anything happened but look for upcoming things to happen if this area is serious enough.

Yeah that's how my first one looked. Its still good to go. Way better than without it. I think its just a difference in the manufactures. Probably the most perfect ones are off an actual Mach 1. I used to live in Irving '93-'96 off Beltline and Walnut Hill passed Country Club. Your location says Euless so I was going by that.

Tried to upload the pictures of the spoiler, but can't get a good look at it. I installed a 2003 Mach 1 chin spoiler on my MM. It jut forward across the front of the car, then as it turns under the bumper towards the wheels, it flattens out. The guy at my bodyshop ( I work at a Ford/Lincoln/SVT dealer) used the mounting points from the bumper and didn't need to make hardly any mods to get it installed. And because it's flexible, I have been fortunate when pulling up to the odd high-curb that it hasn't broken or caused any damage.

I would love a chin spoiler and trunk wing on mine but the postage to Europe for those parts are insane, have to save up some more.
