[QUOTE="BLKSUNSHINE13, post: 15390438, member: 169095"] Mine came off at aproximently 80 mph after being installed for 2 years with multiple high speed runs (down in Mexico) under it's belt. Installation followed Roush's instructions closely and with care, but the problem is lack of reinforcement where the mounting hardware attaches to the bumper cover. The bumper cover is just thin plastic and that's all that's holding it in place. In order for the chin spoiler to be durable reinforcement needs to be placed behind the plastic bumper cover attachment points. As previously posted in a detailed post elsewhere by another victim of this situation, I used 3/8's aluminum bar stock bought at the big box hardware store, drilled and riveted in place to correct the damages to my bumper cover caused when the Roush unit gave way, then replaced with a "real splitter" (Ford Racing Boss spoiler) which also replaces the damaged air deflector and is a much more solid unit overall.
