if you lay down and look underneath the car you will see all the screw holes where it goes. I bought the one with brake coolers to replace mine it's great. good luck and they help cool your radiator.

Don't know if this will help any, but I had these pics laying around - they show the little metal center brace for the air dam that many cars are missing:

I had to do some home-made repairs, this brace would finish it nicely..

Here's the disaster under my car.
I had to drill some holes for 3 metal brackets to keep the center section straight. There is a big tear in the plastic under the radiator that I tried to repair with JB Weld. The brackets are also keeping the tear together!
Wind and usual driveway scraping eventually bends the brackets downwards and I have to disassemble and re-straighten everything. That center spar would really help! Now I see the holes where it should go.
