Early model IS valance sag. How to fix?

[jprastrullo]

Sorry I don't have any pics at the moment, but can provide some if needed...

I hear that this is a common problem with early models... How do you cure/fix the bow/sag of the IS valance on early models.

Any input will help!

(I've searched the interwebs and found nothing)

Are you not using the original bracket? That should provide a press fit against the bumper and hold the spoiler against it.

I haven't really examined it closely, I bought the car like this. Will Realoem show me how the valance is fitted to the bumper? (Also what size hardware to use etc)

It could be the three brackets behind it have a small chunk broken out. They're designed to give a little bit and save the spoiler if you hit a curb.

Here are all the bits behind there...

I have a set of brackets made out of metal if interested. search my started threads in profile
