The new HHR overlay kit has been designed to compliment the factory casting of the
engine shroud. With this application you will transform your shroud into a nice looking
custom piece emulating a real metal intake manifold.
1. The first thing you will need to do is to thoroughly prep the shrouds surface keeping in
mind that the shroud itself is made of a composite plastic that generally does not allow
any thing to stick to it. So it will be necessary to do a VERY thorough job in order to
insure a permanent installation. Scrub the entire top surface area with alcohol to remove
any and all road grime and dirt. With the surface scrubbed raw swipe the entire area once
with the adhesive promoter provided. Once you have completed this preparation, test it in
random areas with the sample attachment tape test strips provided. Once you are
confident that you have achieved a good prep you can begin installation.
2. Place the small oddly shaped ring into the shroud. Although the ring will fit in either
side up you will notice that it will fit a little better one way. So swap it around to find the
best fit and also to get acquainted with just how you will set it in place. Peel the red
release liner from the back of the ring and firmly press into the shroud.
3. Your kit comes with four center caps designed to set atop the four inner areas of the
shroud. Although they come to you pre rolled you will need to tweak the shape a little by
hand to achieve a nice contoured fit. You will also notice that there are two different pairs
of covers. One set is shaped for the outer area and one set is shaped for the inner areas.
