Reply to "GTS mini Air Dam install"

You have the Pantera Performance Center, Dennis Quella, "no-holes GTS spoiler".

It is offered in ABS plastic and fiberglass.

I run the ABS version on 2511. I have found it will last about 4-6 years before finally suffering from all the little driveway drags and abuse it suffers.

Dennis includes about 20 small 8/32 screws, nuts and washers.

I've never used them.

I use sheet metal screws. I like to spread out the contact patch by cutting 2" lengths of a 1/4" hard plastic tube, drilling them in the center (like a Propeller) and running the screws through the drilled hole.

His installation instructions admit there may be (and I find there always is) some gap between the body and the spoiler. He suggests filling with black silicone. Once you have to remove-scrape-pick the old silicone off when installing a replacement spoiler, you will likely omit the silicone in favor of a gap that is so low and so hidden (as long as your lower valance is still painted satin black) that no one will ever notice it.

I find there is usually about a 3/8" gap (widest) in the center 20" or so. I use some black plastic spacers to fill the gap as needed.

Make sure you do not install it too close to the ground. I like about 3 1/2" clearance at the front of the spoiler. Closer and the driveways just eat it up quicker.

Try taping it in place until you find a position that looks right.
