2. Remove the two 10mm bolts at the top of the opening. (note these bolts will not be reused) Place the upper
section over the exhaust tips and then slide the unit back and allow the bottom edge to swing down. You will
need to make sure that the lower left side of the unit doesn’t get jammed into the vacuum actuator. You can use
a small right angle hook or your fingers to guide the new cover over this area. You will also need to push and
manipulate the bumper cover around a little in order to allow the new cover to slip into its intended position.
3. If your unit is an illuminated cover, make sure the wire is routed through the exhaust hanger bracket. Remove
the protective liner. Then using a 10MM nut driver install the two ¾” - 6MM flange head bolts provided and
attach the new cover. Do not over tighten these bolts as this will distort the stainless. You need only snug these
two bolts. Then using your nut driver tap the two chrome decorate bolt head covers over the bolts to give the
bolts a nice finished look .

though the exhaust hanger bracket and over to the passenger side marker light. Secure with the zip ties
provided making sure the wire will not come in contact with any part of the body of the muffler.
5. In this next step you will need to unclip the car’s passenger side mud guard panel just in front of the passenger
side rear marker light. You will not need to completely remove this panel from the wheel well but only enough
to expose the top screw that exists there. Using a T15 torque driver remove the top screw. This will allow you to
be able to open the wheel well in this area exposing the electrical connector for the car’s rear side marker light.
Detach the connector and then pull the connector towards you and out of the wheel well so you can make your
electrical connection.
6. You have been supplied with two red but connectors. Use these connectors by cutting the cars electrical
connector and reattaching it back together with the new wires attached. Black wire is ground and purple wire is
positive. Your new wire will have the positive lead indicated. Simply crimp the butt connectors to reattach the
connector and then reinstall it onto the side marker light. (Tech note: before you put everything back together,
press the cars key fob to check that the electrical connection is correct and functioning properly before you
reassemble the wheel well. If everything checks out simply reassemble the wheel well.
7. The last step will be to install the kits lower section. Simply remove the protective liner and set the lower section
into position under the exhaust tips. Once you have formularized yourself with this lower sections intended
position simply remove the red release liner from the lower section and then carefully reposition the piece nice
and tight to the upper section pressing along the lower section of this part to set the piece to the car finishing
