American Car Craft Corvette Front Grille Billet Style Polished 2005-2013 C6 only - Manual (Page 2)

1. The first step for this installation is to prepare the upper part of the grill opening by
scrubbing the area with alcohol to remove wax and dirt. It is very important that this step
is done vigorously in order to achieve a good permanent bond for the new grill so be sure
to scrub the area hard and long. Once complete swipe the area only once with the
adhesive promoter pack provided. This promoter is not glue but a very important surface
prep agent that activates the 3M attachment tape.
2. Apply some 2'' masking tape to the lower area of the grill opening to protect the paint
during installation.
3. You will notice that the grille contains two hook shaped tabs at both ends. These tabs
have been designed to be inserted in front of the factory grille at the two ends were there
is a small notch formed in the body for the factory grille. Manipulate the grille into these
two notches and set the two upper tabs so that they seat all the way back against the
factory grille. At this time you take a look at the overall fitment to see if any shaping may
be necessary and also to make note of just how the grille will be inserted for the
permanent install.
4. Now that you have a good idea of just how the grille inserts and how it should look
you can now attach the grille by pulling the two long tape tabs covering the attachment
tape at the top of the grille. To do this correctly you will need to hold the grille firmly in
its proper position and then gently tug forward on the tabs exposing the attachment tape.
Keeping the grille in position lift upward to allow the grille to tack in position with the
surface area prepared earlier. Reach you arm around to the back of the grille and squeeze
the two tabs up to the paint pressing between your fingers to achieve a nice thorough and
complete bond. Remove the masking tape. A properly installed grill is one that does not
touch the paint around its entire perimeter and should look suspended in the in the
opening. Do not allow the grille to get wet for 24hrs.
