The only thing that I'm not 100% sure of if the clip nut for the outer holes clips to the support or the the outer hole on spoiler.
No, I am not talking about U-nuts. Pontiac came out with a clip that the back of the valance panel slides into. They were having problems with the valance panels cracking from being bolted to the radiator support. Their fix was to use clips, so the back side of the valance is not bolted to the bottom of the radiator support, it just slides into the clips which also slide onto the bottom of the radiator support in the same spot where the holes are for the U-nuts. I think that thread you posted the link to talks about the clips. Yahooskidoo made some for me as they are long discontinued from GM and nobody seems to have any. I will get a pic.
