that the surface is perfectly clean, Swipe the area to be mounted with the adhesive promoter
provided. Apply a single and complete coat of the promoter and try not to over saturate the
application a single thin coat will work perfectly.
2. Before you permanently attach the new grille to the car set it in place to get acquainted with
the fitment and shape of its placement. Although it should not be necessary you may need to
shape the new grille by hand so that the grille will set against the body perfectly with out having
to push any of its shape into place. By doing this you will insure that the new grille will not
become detached from the car long term. If you consider that metal by nature will not bend
itself out of place than you can expect that a nicely formed grille will remain in place
permanently.
3. Now that you have a good idea how the grille will set in place and have made sure that the
grille has a good form to the shape of the car you can now begin the permanent installation.
Split and peel the red release liner from the two upper corners of the grille and fold them over
the edge of the grille creating a pull tab. In this next step it will be very helpful to ask a friend to
help you hold the new grille in place as you pull the liner tabs. Set the new grille in place, making
sure the grille does not slide out of place gently peel the release liner from the back of the grille
as you press firmly setting the grille to the car.
4. Now that the grille has been successfully attached the last thing to do is to install the finishing
trim ring. You have been provided with a thin chrome trim designed to close the gap between
the new grille and the painted surface. Start the application by peeling a small length of the red
release liner from the trim and apply the trim at the bottom dead center location and pull the
liner as you set along the entire perimeter of the new grille. Apply the trim directly to the paint
tight up against the stainless grille. Cut the excess trim and push the end into a nice tight butt
seam. Peel the protective liner from the grille to finish the installation. TECH TIP: Apply a single
drop of instant adhesive at the butt seam of the chrome trim to eliminate any possibility of a
gap being formed do to shrinkage.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE:
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.
