Thanks Dave, by the way I love that picture of Ronnie 
Casey, the parts are made from a cast urethane material in about a 70 to 75 shore D material and thickin up to be much stronger.
They do fit better than the picture shows, I didn't have any screws in them. They where just laying there.
The next thing I think I will be working on are the bezels in the front around the fog lamps and turn indicator lights.
Cheers

How do you remove that?
Earlier this winter I was taking a corner and came across a giant chunk of snow/ice. 
To make a long story short, my front spoiler is looking pretty rough, the majority of my grill is missing, and I need to replace some screws. My right spoiler duct is also missing. So, since I have to order a new sway bar anyway I figured I'd add the parts on there that I need to make the front of my car not look like something out of a horror film.
So here is my parts list right now, but I need to know what screws/bolts I'm going to need. As you can see in the picture my spoiler is sagging, so I'd like some advice on what screws I need to fix that as well. The bottom horizontal grill piece is still in place, barely, and the brackets are broken so I think I am going to have to replace that too.
My spoiler is actually completely separated on the left side, but I want to get the parts first before I tackle that, but some tips on repairing are going to be beneficial too.
Right Spoiler Duct 80-86
928 505 160 02
Grill, Horizontal: 3
928 559 135 04
Grill, Vertical Bracket
928 559 137 02
Grill, Vertical Bracket: 2
928 559 139 02
Thanks!

The "brackets" in the open space where the grill is supposed to be are what's left of the grill verticals. They are available as reproductions pieces.
The bottom of the verts have screws that go through the bottome of the radiator surround (or whatever that piece is called). There are rubber plugs that fill the holes under where the screws are. They just pop out. If they are gone (and I'm guessing they are there or you'd see the screws), they are available too.
I'm not sure what's going on on the driver's side, just inboard of the brake duct. I had the tab where the spoiler and the brake duct intake (snoot?) attach to the bumper cover break off. I just reinforced it with a couple sheetmetal tabs. It looks like your tabs on the bumper cover are still attached (you can see the brake duct intake bolted to it), maybe you snapped the mount off the spoiler?

Bolts for front grille

1) The bolt that connects the bottom of the center Vertical Bracket to the car. Ive noticed the outer Bracket bolts have a metal clip that helps hold the vertical Bracket in place.
2) The bolts that I assume would connect the Vertical brackets to the horizontal brackets.
Could anyone help me locate the part numbers? Or where to find these bolts?
I apologize if this is a novice question....inherited an '80 from my Grandpa and I'm trying to learn.

No worries on the questions. They are 'novice questions', but since you are a novice, that's fine. It's the only way to learn.
The fact that you are trying to learn is a good thing.
If you look in the PET catalog, there are exploded views of everything and lists of parts. In the version I have (83-86) it's page 810-00 (decorative fittings). It shows the screws as 4 x 15. They're basically sheetmetal screws.
You can download a copy of the PET for your year directly from the Porsche factory site. It's a handy thing to have, especially for stuff like this.

Thank You
Thank you!!! That catalog solves a lot of my issues. I didn't know it existed. It's downloaded onto my iPad already. Yes, it's also listed as 4x15 for the 78-82 catalog.
I really appreciate it!

Reviving this thread. My front spoiler is missing several nuts and bolts. Is there a kit you can get that has just the screws/nuts needed to attach it?

best bet go to ACE hardware and buy what you need.
NOTE use the PET to give you an idea of the stock bolts and buy slightly longer ones,
so you use reinforcement tabs to strengthen the 3 center grill tabs to the spoiler,
and two more for the PU to radiator support
