    Taking off my spoiler finally and putting TRD skid plate on my Sport but was wondering is there any reason to not leave the bolts off, perhaps a dumb question.

    Enough for now
    I put the screws back in, figured it wouldn’t hurt. Also helpful to have them on hand if a similar one breaks or is missing somewhere else

    I put them back in so I knew where they were if I decided to put the chin strap back on. Then I threw away the chin strap :anonymous:

    Well....I think I put them back into the same location they were before.

    Lemme check! lol

    That was a good decision because it looks as they hold the underside of the bumper body molding...but I guess you can remove those clips they go into.

    All bolts are still in-place so it doesn't hurt plus, they have not vibrated out.

    I put them back in the holes. Mainly so I wouldn’t lose them and they would retain the clips if for some reason I wanted to reinstall the chin spoiler. With that being said, with the chin spoiler removed they hold or secure nothing.
