The install was fairly straight forward. A few tips:
1. Cut off the 2 outer locating pins. They're not needed and drilling the holes for them in the correct locations would be difficult.
2. Fasted each end of the air dam to the corner of the bumper using the OEM screw already in place. Take the metal clip off of the spoiler. Only use this to keep the spoiler centered while you fasten the 5 center screws into the chrome section of the bumper.
3. After the center fasteners are in place remove the OEM screw holding the end of the air dam to the bumper. You'll find it actually needs to be in a slightly different location for the air dam to sit perfectly flush. I drilled a new hole and used OEM type clips and screws to then hold them in place.
4. After getting the corners in the proper location I drilled the other two holes (4 total) for each side and attached using clips/screws.
EDIT - Keep everything loose and force the corner into location so that the air dam's edge lines up with the bumper end/wheel well properly. Drill the hole and screw it in place. Then tackle the other two holes per side. I just got done re-doing mine after realizing it could be done better. My mistake was tightening down the 5 center screws before aligning/drilling the end parts. Keeping it all loose allows you to line up the spoiler much better. (pics below are not updated from fixing it... note how the air dam edge is 3/8" from the bumper end edge, that's fixed now)
5. Make sure you put the OEM screw back in the corner of the bumper because it holds the painted part to the metal backing.
Some pics...
PS - Yes I know my bumper has a dent in it. It was like that when I bought the truck and I haven't bothered to replace the bumper yet... it's on the to-do list eventually.
