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

2. Apply some 2'' masking tape to the lower area of the grille opening to protect the paint
during installation.
3. You will notice that the grille contains two hook shaped tabs at both ends and two
strands of wire at the bottom. The two 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. Release the two wire strands and extend them to the back of the grille.
Manipulate the grille into the two notches and set the two large upper tabs so that they
seat all the way back against the factory grille and also that the two wire strands set
through 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 are ready to attach the grille take it out of position so that you can
remove the red release liner from the two upper tabs and carefully reposition the grille
being careful not to allow the two tabs to touch until you have correctly placed it in
position. Then simply force the grille up to make contact 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. Twist
the two wire strands around the center post of the factory grille at the back of the grille to
stabilize the lower section. Remove the masking tape. A properly installed grille 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.

Please note the shark teeth are pointy!!! Use caution when cleaning so you don’t
get bit!  Care must be taken when cleaning your grille. It is a good idea to lightly
dust your grille with a clean soft cloth first in order to prevent any particles from
scratching it. Then wipe using a new clean soft cloth with a good quality streak free
glass cleaner.
Thank you and enjoy your new purchase!
