the sagging front spoiler was buggin arin so he dicided to use his amazing mechanical prowess and remove/fix it. so when i got it off, or was in the process of doing so, i relaized how bad it really was. the black plastic bracket thing that holds the urethane spoiler to the body was cracked and broken, and the knuts were a b**** to get off. the two black things in the box and the pieces that are still attached to the spoiler are all suposed to be one big black plastic thingy. looks like ill need a whole replacment spoiler holder upper. or i could just move up and get a KC valence. yeah, im going with the KC valence.

the pics just show how messed up the thing was. sorry for blurriness, arin not good at onehanded camera pix (other hand was carrying gods greatest cleaning substance WD40 )
