i just bought my car 2 weeks ago and i'm trying to fix things that it needed. i ordered the front air guide and i need to install it. does anyone have directions/pictures? i got under the car, but i can't figure out where it mounts. also, the previous owner relocated the horn and i think i may have to cut a hole in it in order to make it fit correctly..

so main questions:

1) how do i install it? are the bolts probably there or what?

2) what.. does it do? is it real important that i install it asap?

There are 4-6 clips that secure it to the front air dams bottom lip, then two bolts that secure it to the car. The bolts are on the side and pretty far up into the engine bay. When you get the airguide if you hold it in place you will see the mounting point. Assuming the old one was ripped off the bolts are probably still up there. If not they are a pretty common thread pitch. I was able to get the bolts and washers at Ace when I was fixing the one on Kendalls car.

if it was ripped off, should the clips still be there?

Don't know what. On Kendalls car they were. They are barbed to the airdam not the guide so I would GUESS so. Check the bottom and middle lip of your airdam for black clips. Barbed to airdam on one dide and with channels for the guide on the other.
