Zeester is there a gap in between the points at either side of the fangs?

My problem is on the passenger side of the lip where it touches the bumper curve, the fang fitment is excellent. I think it might need screws or something, I really need to get it fixed, it really sucks cuz Stillen is known for good parts and fitment, and im not sure if its a defect or not...

Better pics please I'm debating this vs the whole fascia!

NewYorkJon34 · 05-22-2010, 02:06 PM

Need some better pics, It would def help most of us that are still unsure.

Heres a pic of the issue im referring to, as you can see, I had to double up on the 3M tape just to get the gap closed but its falling off and im running out of options on what to do, only thing i can think of is to put screws

And heres a slightly better pic of the lip from a farther distance... I will take better pics with a better camera today after I wash the car

RedZed34 · 05-23-2010, 05:32 PM

Much better now

I can't see anything on my iPhone. I think you have to use the flash or take the pic in sunlight.

Are you telling me that whole thing is held on by 3m tape?

+1 on this question.

m4a1mustang · 05-24-2010, 07:41 AM

There is no way it's only held on by two sided tape!!!

Zeester · 05-24-2010, 12:08 PM

Double sided tape and it comes with 10 self tap screws, I dont know where the heck you would put 10 screws on this thing, but thats what it comes with.

Mine is held on my double sided molding tape and 4 screws in the front wheel wheels where it hugs the bumper (2 per side)

Zeester, I'm going to go out on a whim here and say you should have installed it with more than 4 screws. If you spaced the screws out along the bumper, you should have a more secure and snug fit. As good as the 3M tape is, I don't consider it a replacement for the secure fit a screw can provide.

Maybe I missed it, and I certainly can't tell from the pictures, but is the spoiler simply too far from the bumper? If that's the case, then I'll agree that there are fitment issues.

Agreed. 4 screws isn't enough!
