Default Wavy chin spoiler?

89 3.2

Ever since I've owned this (mostly original) 911, the chin spoiler has been a bit "wavy."

I finally decided to remove and inspect, fully expecting to see some sort of front valance damage as the root cause.

All OE fasteners were in place, and once I removed the spoiler, I could not find any sort of damage that could be causing the waviness.

There is also a couple mm gap between the spoiler and the valance. The fastener holes were tight and didn't allow any adjustment to pull it in closer.

Ideas?

Replacing on a whim is a bit expensive, just to find that a new one does the same thing.

Photos attached.

I'm guessing that spoiler was owner-installed, and they didn't do a great job drilling the mounting hole locations.

Interesting. Spoiler package is part of the original option list, and there is no evidence of crash damage necessitating a front valance replacement, but anything is possible I guess.

Is there not a front valance OE part number that comes pre-drilled for the chin spoiler?
