Aargh, R1 front spoiler install wtf??
Swapping out my original nasty front spoiler for a new R1 piece. Should be a 15 minute job right? Well the 3 screws in the very center that go through the undertray, spoiler and into the bumper just won't come out. They just spin in place. There's no way to get access to whatever's up top as it's sort of inside the bumper, underneath the foglight area. Anyone have any recommendations on how to remove these things? I'm so pissed off I just want to tear the whole thing out, but I know that'll destroy the bumper in the process. It's so frustrating when something as trivial as removing a screw forces you to abandon a project halfway through. @#^@#%@!!!

Trust me on this. The exact same thing happend to me. Like I said, on the inside of the bumper there is a nut holding the bolt in place. I believe it is supposed to be held on by adhesive, but over time I guess the adhesive fails. If you squeeze your hand under the bottom side of the bumper skin through the front opening where the radiator is, you can feel it. A small hand can easily get in there and hold it with their fingers or a wrench. I did this and it worked. Not sure of any other way of making that nut stay in place.

i don't see how it could be doing that.
are you having trouble with the plastic rivets? or is your lip attached by a bolt going thru one of those bracketed nuts.
if its plastic, rip that thing apart.
if its steel, rip that thing apart! its spinning because the tread are rusted away, so it should give if u pull.
if those don't work, drill it
