i would drill holes and use through bolts with a good sized washer, this will keep it from getting ripped off or folded in half if you hit something ........... which with a lower front, you prolly will be doing alot of............

Make sure you use quality hardware too...none of this cheap shit from Home Depot. It is worth the few extra cents not to deal with nasty rusted hardware a few months down the road.

Not gavanized steel. Go with stainless. Pinellas Fastener or Tri City Bolt over in Pinellas county are excellent choices. Just bring whatever hardware came with the kit and they will match it up with something equivalent but in a better grade.

Chances are the hardware that came with it may be decent stuff already, but for a couple bucks I'd get my own. Just my .02

no hardware came with it, thats the thing, plus its going on a car it was never meant for-, on the mach 1s they just use those plastic push pin things

Wait a second. The Mach 1 chin spoiler will fit on the 94-98 bumper?

They do make Mach 1 chin spoilers specifically for your car. I think its called the "boss" chin spoiler or something.

ev04.... i did this to my 98 back in feb, i used the factory push pins that are used on the late model Mach 1. I havent had any trouble with it "falling off" yet. I think it looks real good.
