2 months.
I cracked it going up a driveway. It didn't break in half so I took it off, sanded it down, and put it back on. How does it look? It was getting dark when I got home so you can't see it too good. Man I miss that chin spoiler...

well fuck, if you pay $200 for it id damn sure try and repair it they seem a little pricey for the quality. i mean i know that they are gonna have probs with that so they need to be made less brittle since the mfg knows thats whats gonna happen.

you could fix it:P
that's what i'm doing. after 5 months, mine finally died. the whole middle section up to where it connects under the front bumper broke off.
so i had to fiberglass that back onto the main section, and also i trimmed and cut off the bad sections so i had to fiberglass in about 4 inches of missing spoiler.
then bondo to make it level, then filler to makes sure no little holes or dimps were there. followed with lots of sanding and now the primer. i should have it back on tomorrow after a weeks worth of work on it.
sorry to hear about the misfortun
later

Question: How is your grill set up to be so far forward, verus way back like mine? It's a grillecraft and that's how it fits. I would like to fit in the back. If I had made it myself I would have done it that way.
I was thinking that I have enough there that I could put a new lip on the plastic piece. If I wanted it to look rally style I could put an aluminum lip and pop rivet it to the plastic piece. What do you think of that?

hondahater actually made an aluminum one like ours but his wasn't as low. i was going to cut off about 3/4" off mine all the way around so it wouldn't be as low but i decided againt it since i want the drift or buddy club 2 front. so you know. later
