Chin spoiler - is this part of the sports pkg?

I have owned mine for two weeks and have already busted the clip on the right side off.

If you plan on driving it around suburb areas, it's going to be broken in no time. But, I'll probably be a sucker and go fix it anyway. Haha.

Here's another question: how easy is it to pop on and off? If you have to jack it up to get at some screws, well, it might be worth keeping off. If it can be popped on and off, pop it on when you're at the track or know you won't come across a speed-bump/ramp/pothole/real road

.

Unfortunately, there is no popping on and off as it is pop-riveted in place. I am going to be using threaded rivets so I can use fasteners versus pop rivets.

nuttbunnies. Wonder if it could be rigged up with a linear actuator, put a switch in the cabin. Would that be ricing it too much?

You might end up knocking out the linear actuators before you get to scrape the lip lol.

Wonder if a really loose dashpot cylinder would work. Plastic probably isn't heavy enough to reset it down after a strike though. Probably not stiff enough either. Guess that 3% is going to fall off eventually huh?
