How To Install Mustang Mach 1 Chin Spoiler (99-04)

As we all browse the web looking for the perfect chin spoiler for our 1999-04 Ford Mustang, the original 2003-04 Mach 1 style chin spoiler is among the most popular out there. In fact it's almost getting hard to find a 1999-04 Mustang V6 or GT that doesn't have a Mach 1 chin spoiler on it as time goes on. The one question many Mustang enthisuasts have is " How can there be 2 different brands making the same product and be all over the place with pricing? What's the difference?" Well we want to clear this up for everyone with a side by side comparison of all the Mach 1 style chin spoilers that we offer. The following will describe texture, fitment and color of all the chin spoiler and also what comes with them in the package.

First, we have the SVE Mach 1 Style Chin Spoiler. It is the most economical of the group. This chin spoiler is our own brand and is made just like the Ford Mach 1 Chin Spoiler. It features the same style texture and also is molded in black. The SVE Mach 1 Style Chin spoiler includes installation hardware and is ready to be installed. Please make a note on this chin spoiler, it is shipped in a smaller box than the Ford OE chin spoiler. Due to this fact, the chin spoiler is slightly bent to fit into this smaller box and needs to be left out in the sun for a short period of time to heat up and return to its original shape. This in no way damages the chin spoiler, it just cuts down on shipping cost, which ultimately saves you money.

Now, the first two Mach 1 chin spoilers we listed are the Ford OEM Mach 1 Chin Spoiler and the SVE Mach 1 Style Chin Spoiler. Both of these are made of the same material and offer the same looks. The down side to these spoilers is that if you ever accidentally bump a curb, they will scratch, and neither will flex much to absorb a curb hit.

No matter what Mach 1 Chin Spoiler you go with, you know you will be receiving a quality product regardless of brand. We simply wanted to highlight all the differences and explain some installation procedures to keep any confusion out of the purchasing decision.

Tools Needed:

Phillips Head Screwdriver
Pushpin Removal Tool
1/4" Drill Bit and Drill (99-04 GT or V6 Specific)

NOTE:One thing to note is the difference mentioned above. If you have a 99-04 GT or V6, there are some extra steps. If you have an original 03-04 Mach 1, New holes will need to be drilled as the factory bolt holes will not allow the SVE chin spoiler to line up properly.

Installation Instructions

1. Jack or lift your car to gain easier access to the chin spoiler. Use a combination of your Phillips head screwdriver and a pushpin removal tool to remove your old chin spoiler.

2. Installation is relatively simple if you're working with an 03-04 Mach 1. But let's say you don't have an 03-04 Mach 1. Let's say you're going to put this SVE chin spoiler on your 99-04 GT or V6. Again, not too terribly hard.

Couple of extra steps, though. You want to grab you a buddy or two, take your chin spoiler, and line it up under the bumper cover, lining up the back of the chin spoiler with the wheel well opening on both sides. Have a Sharpie marker handy, and mark the two rear-most holes and the center round hole on the bottom of the bumper cover. Once you have those marks made, take the chin spoiler back down, grab you a drill with a quarter-inch drill bit, and drill those three holes.

3. Take your Christmas Tree Fasteners and put one in each rear hole, then one in the center. This will hold the chin spoiler in place.

5. Now the chin spoiler is held into place. You can grab your Sharpie, mark the rest of your holes, and drill them out. And then install you push type fasteners. Now if you've got an '03-'04 Mach 1, all you've got to do, slide a fastener in the hole, and push the screw center in. Once you've installed each push type fastener, it will be securely mounted.

Review

It really changed the front end look of this car. Now I can't stress enough just how much of a direct fit this chin spoiler is on an 03-04 Mach 1, and how easy it is to put one on your 99-04 GT or V6. Really can be done in your driveway with common hand tools. Not going to take a whole lot of time. And it's going to add a bit of style to your GT or V6, or completely dress up a once tattered Mach 1.

Now the big difference comes in here at the back. Completely flush with the wheel well now. Before we had almost a thumb's width gap at the back. Now it's completely flush. We took care of a factory issue. Now for more accessories and restoration parts for your Mustang, check out LMR.com

If you own a 1999 to 2004 Mustang you probably heard of the Mach 1 style chin spoiler. Now here at latemodelrestoration.com, we've got two options for you-- the factory Ford original, and our SVE brand. Now, out of the box it's real hard to tell the difference between the two.

Texture almost identical. All the holes are in the exact same spots. That way it's a direct bolt on for a factory '03-'04 Mach 1.

The Ford unit has these Christmas tree style pushpins already installed-- one in the front center, two in the back corners-- to ease with installation. That way you can snap it up in the place. And it holds itself while you put in the rest of the pushpins.

Now the main difference here, flip these over and use the pushpins to line it up and give you a real good representation is the rear length. You can see that Ford one there is a little bit shorter. Our SVE one is a little bit longer. It takes it all the way back to the edge of the fender well.

Now in a factory Mach 1-- this is a factory '04 Mach 1 we're working on, in fact-- you have a little bit of gap at the back of the chin spoiler and the wheel well opening. This is factory. That's the way it came. And our SVE chin spoilers are a little bit longer. That way it takes up that gap, and moves the chin spoiler all the way back to the wheel well opening.

Now a common misconception is that these factory chin spoilers are almost indestructible. Well, that's not exactly the case. This factory chin spoilers very wavy and beat up, scratched from hitting parking bumps. It's just not in real good shape, makes this car look a lot worse than it needs to.

So we're going to take this off, replace it with our SVE chin spoiler. Now removal is simple. All you have is three of those Christmas tree style pushpins, and then 14 of these screw center pushpins. All you need is a Phillips head screwdriver, and possibly a pushpin removal tool to get this chin spoiler off.

I'm going to go ahead and pull this factory chin spoiler off, get everything cleaned up, and then we'll show you how to put the new one on. Installation is relatively simple if you're working with an 03-04 Mach 1. But let's say you don't have an '03-'04 Mach 1. Let's say you're going to put this SVA chin spoiler on your '99 to 2004 GT or V6. Again, not too terribly hard.

Couple of extra steps, though. You want to grab you a buddy or two, take your chin spoiler, and line it up under the bumper cover, lining up the back of the chin spoiler with the wheel well opening on both sides. Have a Sharpie marker handy, and mark the two rear-most holes and the center round hole on the bottom of the bumper cover. Once you have those marks made, take the chin spoiler back down, grab you a drill with a quarter-inch drill bit, and drill those three holes.

Now we took a cue from Ford, and include all the original type hardware-- the three Christmas tree type fasteners, and then 14 of the screw type pushpins. You want to take these three Christmas tree fasteners and put one in each rear hole try not to drop them. They can be a little tricky to get in, because it's a tight curve in the back.

And then one in the center hole. Now what that's going to do is allow you to put that chin spoiler up into place just like this. And it'll hold itself.

Now the chin spoiler is held into place. You can grab your Sharpie, mark the rest of your holes, and drill them out. And then install you push type fasteners. Now if you've got an '03-'04 Mach 1, all you've got to do, slide a fastener in the hole, and push the screw center in. I'm going to go ahead and finish this up.

All right. I got all the pushpins in. This thing is securely mounted.

Man, it really changed the front end look of this car. Now I can't stress enough just how much of a direct fit this chin spoiler is on an '03-'04 Mach 1, and how easy it is to put one on your '99 to '04 GT or V6. Really can be done in your driveway.

Common hand tools. Not going to take a whole lot of time. And it's going to add a bit of style to your GT or V6, or completely dress up a once tattered Mach 1.

Now the big difference comes in here at the back. Completely flush with the wheel well now. Before we had almost a thumb's width gap at the back. Now it's completely flush. We took care of a factory issue. Now for more accessories and restoration parts for your Mustang, check out latemodelrestoration.com
