Just mount it in the stock location, if it was ripped off there should be indications or mounting holes. Just get under the car and look.

The mounting holes for the air dam should be just under the radiator and condensor (the radiator support). You'll have to jack up the car a little to see them.

Hi, I am not sure if this will work or not, but I will post it anyway.

I have flipped my air dam backwards, so it looks like its scooping air into the radiator, more so than the stock set up where it reverts the air to the ground.
Now, my engine has ran the same as it was the stock way so I am not sure if its worth doing any work if you are city driving. However, when you are on the highway I have noticed a 20Degree drop, than the stock set up.
Take it for what its worth.

Thanks.

So did you tilt it at an angle so the bottom of it is towards the front of the car?????? How did you do it.
