Is there a proper way to mount these to the stock wing? I used self tapping screws and they have come loose after driving a few hundred miles. It's starting to damage the mounting holes as well
You have to use a bracket and a bolt. The material is too brittle for self tapping. Imagine a П with a nut welded to it. You drill a hole enough to get it through, then slide it on the underside of the spoiler.
I would not use any other method.







That's how it is OEM, even the material is kinda marked up for this process, and easier to brake up where the bigger hole is.

Just did this and the wing is really solid now. Thanks !
