American Car Craft Corvette Grille Blakk Stealth Laser Mesh Front 2006-2013 Z06+GS+ZR1 - Manual (Page 2)

2. Your new grille comes to you pre shaped however it is very IMPORTANT to
shape the grille further in order to achieve a nice snug fit. Form the two outer ends
of the grille so they will have positive pressure against the factory grille once
installed. The ends of the new grille will contain a narrow strip of butyl putty
which when pressed to the factory grille will work very well to stabilize the grille
from vibration. This will insure that the new grille will not have a tendency to flap
around at the ends at high speeds. IMPORTANT! Also make sure that the new
grille has the same contour as the factory one. This will insure the new grille will
not be able to unsnap itself out of position. Although there are three vertical posts
on the factory grille, the new grille will only have a single bend in the center for
the vertical post and lay smoothly over the other two factory posts. Each of the
eight tabs should bend slightly into the center of the grille. This will insure a nice
tight grip to the factory grille.
3. Now that the grille has been prepared properly set the grille into the taped area
and center it as best possible. Using your finger tips push down along the bottom
of the factory grille area that has been taped earlier and gently set each tab under
the factory grille but do not push the tabs all the way in just yet. Use a small flat
screw driver and poke through the mesh at the tab areas to help you work the tabs
under the grille by gently pushing down on them as you slide them back under the
factory grille. The top four tabs will install in the same way.
4. Once you have all the tabs slipped over and under the factory grille push evenly
over the entire grille and force it to slide back until the tabs pass the back edge of
the factory grille. This will lock the new grille in place. Be sure that the grille sits
firmly against the factory grille at the two outer ends. Center the new grille if
needed. Press the ends firmly to set the butyl putty. Remove the masking tape to
finish the installation.
