I want to change the front spoiler, but don't want to change out the bumper. Is the spoiler independent of the bumper or is it one piece??
Thanks!!

What do you mean by front spoiler? The 545 doesn't have a front spoiler, unless you mean the entire assembly below the lights and kidneys. You may have an aftermarket on bolted on, in which case you shouldn't have to remove the bumper.

Post a photo- I can better answer that way...

No, no aftermarket add on; it's all factory. I was wondering if the bumper and front spoiler are two separate pieces, but I think you answered that with a "No".

So in order to change out the spoiler (below bumper) I have to change out the bumper too... ? Correct?

If I am not mistaken there may be a front lip you could get... still not sure what you are talking about - could it be the lip?

Thanks! That was what I meant. Is that spoiler/ lip spoiler separate from the bumper. It looks like, from the ads, that it is. I just wanted to know if I buy one of those spoilers, is it a basic unbolt and bolt the new one on.
Thanks again for the input/help.
Eric
