Okay I just spent a lot of money to have my whole bodykit, flares and bumpers repainted. Unfortunately, one of my front spoilers has a broken clip mount and is missing one all together.... Is there a way to repair the broken mount and perhaps make a new mount? Plus how would I attach them?

These body kits are a constant battle especially in the snowy months

Those Lowes mounts won't work! They need to be flat and mount through a hole in the bumper cover

You just need to put something over the hole to cinch the tie to. A piece of hose or a paperclip or pen just something to span across the slot in the bumper.

So I bought a plastic welder. My plan is to create plastic L brackets and weld them to the back of the front and rear spoiler. I'll then drill a hole through the tongue and use a zip tie to fasten it.... One question though? What kind of plastic are our bodykits made of? Polypropylene...ABS?

I've been using those clips from lowes for over 2 years now & there still holding on strong!! I epoxied them on and let it sit for a day & a half

I made L brackets from my old side skirt and epoxied them to the back of my rear kit.. I used a torch once the bumper spoiler was in place and bent the bracket over again. It's not going anywhere now. I have to do my front bumper spoilers now.

This is the progress thus far! I still need to pull my front spoilers and epoxy my brackets to them tomorrow
