Anyone know the size for the bolts that secure the front spoiler/chin? The spoiler pieces on each side. Not sure if center is the same.
I know the middle deflector piece utilizes an M6 bolt. I believe this is the same for the side air deflector pieces as well. I cannot recall the specific length of the bolt.
You can go to a place like Home Depot or Lowe's and just buy general hardware. Make sure the bolt has the collar sleeve (or a washer of some sort) as the surface area of the collar (washer) helps to keep shape of the small metal bracket.
Flange bolts typically have the washer or "collar" built into them, but they're in much smaller diameter. I wouldn't personally recommend them simply because you may have a hard time finding a bolt with a large enough flange to match OEM style. Typically you can find fairly large washers that will match up to whatever bolt you want to run.

Are you calling the Air Dam a spoiler? There are actually three of these the two side ones and the middle dam... Or are you talking about an after market lower lip or "spoiler" that is an add on NOT OEM? Mounted to the front facia?

The stock AIR DAM. Yes, three pieces. I need a bolt for the passenger side dam.

Remove one from the other side and take it with you to Fastenal or some hardware store to match it... sorry I don't know the size, Marc@Vettenuts will surely have some if you want a perfect match...or the dealership may be able to get those for you... possibly even some body shop that works on corvettes...
