5. Now you are ready to install the grille. Slide the grille into the bumper face opening at an angle so that the entire
assembly sits inside the opening. Once the assembly has been inserted, carefully force the tabs of the bumper
opening through each of the tab slots in the factory grille frame. Work your way around the frame until you
have snapped in all tabs pulling gently towards you to match the grille assembly nicely to the bumper opening.
At this point the main grille section should be nicely installed and all that is left to do, is cap the areas of the
grille that where cut earlier.
6. The next and final part of this installation will be to prepare the factory frame to receive the four cap sections
provided in your kit. These pieces have been powder coated to match the finish of the plastic grille and are
designed to interlock. In order to do this you will need to manually shape each piece so that they contour into
the frames shape. This is a very easy procedure and can be done one by one starting with the two larger end
sections. Simply shape the end cap by hand until they match the grille frame surface perfectly. Once this is done
prepare the plastic frame to receive the caps by scrubbing the frame clean with alcohol. Then swipe the grille
frame with the adhesive promoter provided in your kit. This chemical is not a cleaner but an adhesive
accelerator and must be used in order to ensure a nice long lasting bond. Once this step is done peel the red
release liner from the back of the caps and then press them firmly in place. The two remaining long thin strips
must be shaped and installed in the same way; the only difference is that you will work from the center peek of
the plastic grille and work towards the two end caps. Curl the ends of these sections so that they interlock with
the end caps. It is important that the two strips match themselves at the peak so there will be no gap. When you
are ready, peel the red release liner from the back of the strips and carefully set them in place pressing firmly to
finish the installation.
