Re: lowering effects are coming off

If you put glue on it, you run the risk of ruining the paint on your car or on the ground effect piece itself. If it is the front piece of the rocker panels that is coming off, you can get to the screws by simply taking off the kick panels and checking on the nuts to be sure they are tight.

The right quarter panel one is also easy to get to, just take out your spare tire. The left one is a bit more hassle because you have to take the entire interior plastic piece out.

If the one you are having an issue with (assuming its not all of them) is an easy one to get to, I recommend checking on the mounts before gluing them.

Hope this helps

Is it the edge of the chin spoiler where it hooks into the fender? If so, the only thing I can thing to do is drill new holes near where the old ones were to remount it. Maybe someone else knows something better since I am not the most experienced person with ground effects
