How to change the front Spoiler lip to the Spasm

I have the Spasm front spoiler lip I ordered from Suncoast to replace my standard nopn-spasm front lip and wanted to know what is involved in putting it on ... is it a quick installl.

I checked on their website but don't see directions on how to do it.

Thank you.

Great question! I was going to start a similar thread. I tried to take the old one off but only got it out of the first "notch". I was putting a lot of pressure on the others and was afraid of breaking something. Hopefully, someone can provide some tips or instructions.

I have the same issue.... they sent me this pic.

The old spoiler is two parts. You remove 2 screws (14) and 2 plugs (13), then slide the first part (12) towards the passenger side... it will unlock from the main spoiler (11). Somehow the main spoiler (11) is un-clipped from the bumper... I have not figured that out. I think you need a ramp and some tiny fingers to un-clip the plastic tabs....

literally you pull it, the screws and so forth hold the rubber piece to the plastic piece... they both come off.. if it makes u feel better remove the 2 screws on each side, but that does nothing... pull hard and it comes off.. pull FORWARD however not down.

I attempted to change it myself. Removed the 2 screws on each side (2 different size screws) and found myself pulling pretty hard to try and get it off. I should of probably lifted the vehicle first but after a few attempts I decided the smart move was to let the pros do it. Took it to the dealer here in Vegas and they installed it in about 5 minutes using a lift. Below is a link with pics of it installed (looks great and aggressive) and I also wanted to show off my new silver hood emblem. haha. FYI: the guys at the parts dept. at Freemont Porsche in Northern CA have been beating Suncoasts price on all parts and shipping. Good luck!

So basically I don't remove any screws, I just go to the front of the car and pull forward and it comes right off ?

When I put it back on it just snaps into place ?

thanks for your advice !!

yep, start at the side.. it will make perfect sense.. across the front at top are clips.. the "slits" or 2 teeth on the bottom are just to keep it from falling down.. the screws hold on the rubber piece.. remove if u want but not neccesary, id lay down and pull the 2 little "teeth" out of the bottom of bumper.... then pull towards you and will come off.... when it comes off you'll be surprised like i was about the ease of removal and curious how it even stays on.. the new lip pops on without any screws, which is why i know u dont need to remove them to put lip on.. clips hold it on, and those "slits" hold it up.

These directions are perfect, I finally took the whole 10 minutes and got it done, no screws to remove ... just pulling slowly one part at a time.

It really was literally a 10 minute job and it took that long because I really took my time.

The only part I'm not crazy about is from underneath it looks unfinished ... do I need to put on that rubber piece from the original front spoiler ... is there another piece that finishes it off so it looks better from underneath ?

Thanks again !!!

^^Âgreed, I just received my SPASM lip spoiler and it looks flimsy and unfinished compared to the stock one, looks great once installed though.
