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.
If any questions occur during installation please call

enjoy your purchase!
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.
