1. Thoroughly clean the lower area of the bumper opening with soap and water first to
remove any road grime and dirt. Then scrub vigorously with rubbing alcohol, after the
area has been thoroughly cleaned swipe the area once with the adhesive promoter
packet provided.
2. IMPORTANT: Although your new insert comes to you pre shaped it WILL be necessary
to further tweak the shape in order to perfectly match the opening. Place the insert in
place to get acquainted with how to set it in and also to see just where the insert will
need to be shaped. The metal is very thin and will conform to your adjustments. This
step is VERY CRITICAL to insure that the new unit will stay in shape and in place long
term so take you time to shape the part to the car until you achieve a nice contoured fit
without forcing it. A properly shaped part is one that will LOOK installed with NO gaps
and lay in position by itself. Once you have achieved this you can now permanently
begin installation.
3. Peel a small amount of the red release liner front the back of the part and fold it
forward in such a way as to be able to pull it off after you have reinserted the stainless
cover. Insert the part and make sure it lines up nicely to the front edge. With the unit in
place pull the red release liner out completely and then set the part to the opening by
pressing firmly into place.
4. You have been supplied with a length of chrome trim. This trim is to be place directly
to the painted surface tight up against the new part to close the space between the part
and paint. Clean with alcohol then swipe once with the adhesive promoter tube. Peel a
small length of the red release liner from the back of the trim and set in place at one
end. Pressing firmly run the trim along the entire length as you pull the liner until you
reach the opposite side then cut away any access trim and set the end. Remove the
protective liner.
Note: EXTRA CARE must be taken when cleaning your stainless trim. It is a good idea
to lightly dust your trim 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.
