Installation

Note: Read installation instructions before starting and test fit component before painting. Chin spoiler is a molded TPO part. To ensure the quality of your vehicle and the product, have your chin spoiler painted by a qualified professional automotive painting facility (if applicable). We recommend that paint curing temperature not exceed 150°F
