Your new cover comes with a protective liner; do not remove liner until prompted by
instructions.

The new Camaro radiator support cover has been designed to attach to the top of the
factory bolts. This is a unique system not seen before that will enable you to attach the
cover without drilling any holes in your new car. You will simply replace four factory
bolts with threaded replacement bolts as your attachment points.

1. Although your new cover comes to you pre shaped it WILL be necessary to set

the unit in place and further shape the panel by hand in order to achieve a nice
contour to the cars radiator support rail.

2. Once you have achieved a nice contour, Remove the panel from its position and

set aside for a moment. You will notice the four factory bolts at the mounting
locations of the new cover. Remove these four bolts and replace them with the
four threaded bolts provided. The two upper bolts will contain a tight stainless
washer and the two lower bolts will contain a larger fender washer as well as a
thicker washer serving as a spacer to provide a nice level final attachment. Be
sure not to over tighten these bolts as they are hollow and can break if over
tightened. Just snug will work perfect.

3. Once these four bolts have been installed set the new cover in position. Peel

back a portion of the protective liner at all four locations and install the 6/32
stainless screws but do not tighten just yet. Depending on how well the panel
has been hand formed you will need to jostle the panel a little to allow you to
successfully locate the hole locations and install each screw. If the inserted screw
causes the panel to buckle a little simply readjust the panel so that it will remain
nice and flat with the screws inserted. Once everything looks good snug the four
screws. You have been provided with two 1'' chrome screw covers for the two
upper screws. Peel the Velcro donut from the underside of the caps and place
them over the two upper screws then simply cap the screw with the two
decorative chrome caps.

4. The next step will be to prepare the three factory cap locations for their new

covers as well. Thoroughly clean the two large cap locations with alcohol to
remove any and all road grime and dirt. Then swipe the factory cap tops with
the adhesive promoter provided. You have been provided with two chrome
decorative caps. One of these caps will have an angled flat bottom. This
particular cap has been designed to compensate for the low lying radiator
pressure cap. Peel the attachment cookie from the bottom of this cap and
attach it to the top of the factory cap and then simply set the decorative cap
to the Velcro rotating the caps angled bottom so that the cap matches the
main cover nicely. The remaining washer fluid cap will require you to trim the
attached strap so that the cover can be completely removed. Remove the
