Simple, just follow the instructions provided with it. There are many different types of air dams, and most install in different ways based on their design.

The air dams I have installed in the past required removal of the bumper skin and lower valance. Then, they just used the factory clips to re-attach the new air damn. Another required drilling into the fenders for an attachment point. They can be different. Which ione are you getting?

If you are handy w/ tools, its not too hard to install any of them. Just remember some require additional drilling and thats a big commitment if you don't like the looks of it.
