Your new grille overlays have been designed to attach directly to the stock grille offering
a beautiful enhancement of the factory design.
Your grille comes to you with a protective liner. Do not remove liner until
installation has been completed.
1. Remove the factory emblems from the stock grille be carefully pulling them outwards
unsnapping them from their position. You will be reusing them.
2. Thoroughly clean the factory grille as well as the painted surface directly in front of
the grille first with soap and water then with rubbing alcohol to remove any road grime
and dirt. Once properly cleaned, take a piece of household masking tape to test the tack
by sticking the test tape strip to the areas where you will be mounting your new overlay.
Test several areas, if it is tacky and sticks then proceed to the next step. If it is not
sticking very well in any of the spots you tested then re-clean the area until the test strip
sticks to all areas. PLEASE NOTE: If the test strips tape doesn't stick well then neither
will your new grille.
3. Now using the adhesive promoter (provided) swipe the clean grille and painted area
where you will be attaching the grille. Take special care to apply the adhesive promoter
to the entire grille surface. This will insure the new overlay will remain bonded under all
weather and road conditions long term. The promoter is clear and will not stain or
damage your paint.
4. Now that the factory grille has been properly prepared - Without removing the rear
red liner place the grille overlay in position to get acquainted with just how it will set in
place. The attachment tape on back of the grille overlay is very aggressive and will not
allow you to reposition it once it sticks so go slowly. Once you are confident that you can
place the grille correctly remove the rear red release liner from the back of the overlay
and carefully and gently set in position. Make any tiny final adjustments. Now press
firmly along the entire surface to set the new grille overlay permanently.
