Tips for installing lip spoiler?

So, I just bought the front lip spoiler for my 79' SC and there's no holes drilled for the side mounts. Is there a template for drilling the holes or some tips? I can probably eye ball it but would rather not get this wrong.

I elected to remove my valance when i put mine on.
Started at the ends, then the center hole, then the remaining 6 holes.
Put some masking tape on, then mark and drill.

For those who have not done a front chin spoiler installation before, follow the above sage advise and you will be thankful you did it the right way.

Thank you, the valance is off now so I'll give it a shot that way.
