2. Thoroughly clean the factory grille as well as the painted surface directly in front of the grille with alcohol
to remove any road grime and dirt. Then swipe the clean grille and painted area with the adhesive promoter
provided. 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.
3. Now that the factory grille has been properly prepared begin by first placing 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 red release liner from the back of the overlay and carefully set in
position pressing firmly along the entire surface to set the overlay nicely.
4. You have been provided with 4 lengths of chrome trim. Peel a small length of the red release liner from one
end of the trim then start at the top dead center of the grille place one end of the trim directly to the paint
but tight against the grille overlay you just installed. Pull the red release liner as you work your way around the
edge of the grille until you reach the start point. Cut away the excess trim with a scissor so that you will be
able to press the end into a nice tight butt seam. TECH TIP: This trim will have a tendency to shrink over time
so in order to counter act this you need to forcibly push the trim into each corner so as to actually stuff the
trim into the corners then add a little drop of instant adhesive to the end of the trim as you set the butt seam.
Use a little nail polish remover if you get a little glue mess.
5. After the grille has been successfully installed simply snap the factory emblems back in place if desired.
6. COMING SOON: The lower grille section will install in exactly the same way as the top section only there are
no emblems to replace.
