Contact MHFontaine (Marvin). He had a local shop do it while he watched and photographed it. Came out awesome on his FRC. :cheers:

you will need to remove the side ones.. Not the front air deflector. I have this spoiler. Great fit and finish. My car is lowered 1.5" and i scrape the bottom of it constantly.

I have a payment plan with my body shop.. The fix it every 6-8 weeks

I had one on my car until I hit a Raccoon and that was that.. snapped the sucker in half and screwed it up.. so into the garbage it went.. Bye Bye $500!! They are not hard to put on... just remove the two outter plastic pieces, fit the new unit on, drill the new holes and install the new bracket. Then bolt on the new Spoiler and you are in business.. now just watch out for road kill, and blown tire tread because it will break that SOB right off of the car. :smash:
