QWKDTSN Posted November 28, 2001 Share Posted November 28, 2001 Well, it comes with a set of hardware to install the air dam. If you're getting rid of your front bumper you won't need any bumper hardware But if you're installing the front bumper you still use the original bolts, same as stock. The air dam's really not all that hard to install. You just want to be super careful when marking your holes. Remove the stock front panel and put the urethane air dam up to the fenders. Clamp it in place with C-clamps. This way you can shift it around and clamp it down again to make sure everything lines up perfectly. Once you've accomplished this to your satisfaction, mark the holes with a punch, drill them out, and bolt up the air dam. The hard part comes after you've got it mounted to the body - installing the stock turn signals. These are tougher because of the angle of the screws and the way they tuck into the air dam - it's way different than the stock front panel where they just bolt up. What I ended up doing is actually taking the lights apart so there was less to work with. This took the most time for me, and the most careful measuring and drilling.
