Replacing front spoiler?
Did anybody do this and were your nuts and bolts rusted together? Did you have to drill them out and if so did you drill them from underneath or did you drill them from the top? Or is there a secret way to get these rusted nuts off?

I put a Z-51-ish one on ( with brake cooling scoops), About 10 or 12 10mm bolts ( only about 1/2" long) into sheet metal c-clipy things. The day before soak or spray with a lot of "P B Blaster" and get 1" or 1 & 1/4 long bolts it makes the reassembly easier. Simple job

Replaced mine with a single piece from Mid America called the "Prowler". Did it a lot of years ago and none of the nuts/bolts were rusted so they came out pretty easily. I did have some help as it's a lot easier with someone working on top and the other under the car.

I striped the bolts on one side and the middle and I cut 3 bolts off the middle one with a hack saw and drilled one out, tomorrow I will tackle the two outer ones with those drill bits for stripped screws and hex bolts, more work than I planned.
