    I got one delivered today from MAS. It looks like a well built fiberglass piece. The installation is with screws. The spoiler seems to match the contour of the valance ok, but not perfect.

    Did any of you guys get have this problem? Any tips to the install to get it to line up ok? Was there a "line" you followed for your installation? What I mean is it looks best to me if in the center of the valance the spolier is attached at the bottom most portion.

    Thanks in advance.

    I attached mine along the bottom of the valance, on the lip. Started in the middle & worked my way out. I think it looks awesome....

    The one I got from them was a piece of crap. I ended up getting rid of it. Sounds like they've improved their product.

    I didn't use mas I used Maverick Connection. I found it easier for me to remove the front valance and install. Just because it was easier to put it on work bench and work from the middle out. JMO

    Same here. I'm not pleased with the outside corners but everything else looks okay. And yes, it is a Mas also.
