4. Once you have cleaned and prepped the caliper surfaces you can now install your new stainless
covers with confidence. The front caliper cover is a two piece installation. The long scalloped cap cover will
need some additional preparation to attach this piece. Your kit comes to you with a small abrasive pad. Use
this pad to scuff the underside of the long scalloped cap as well as the area of the caliper bracket that is covers
buy the new cap. Then swipe the area once again to make sure it is perfectly clean. Apply a small pile of pure
100% clear silicone at the two ends of the caliper bracket. This silicone will work excellent to bond the new
cover to the caliper bracket. It is not affected by heat and is an excellent all around adhesive.
5. The next piece will have enough surface area for the 3M attachment tape to work perfectly to
insure this piece will stay boned permanently. The key hear is to tweak the shape of this piece so that it
matches the surface of the caliper perfectly. Although the piece comes to you pre shaped it will need to be
shaped further to make sure it will make 100% contact with the caliper. This can be done very easily by hand
gently forming the part until you are ready to set the piece permanently in place. Simply peel the red release
liner from the back of the piece and then firmly press it into place. Remove the protective liners to finish that
install.
6. All the remaining pieces for the calipers are to be applied in the exact same way. Tweak all the
shapes well then peel and stick. Be sure to press very filmy along all surfaces to insure a good long lasting
bond. Then remove all protective liners and the reinstall all four wheel to finish this installation.
7. The front caliper section also will utilize the silicone for installation however this piece will a snap
over the main caliper bracket. This is a design upgrade and you will notice that there is a small square casting
protruding from each end of the front caliper bracket. In order to install this piece you will need to release the
caliper from rotor completely. Then apply your silicone to the two shoulders of the caliper bracket. Then slide
one side over one square as you force the opposite side to snap over the other square. Then bend the tabs at
both ends to make Sure they are properly folded over. These two tabs of the cover must be completely folded
over to avoid any contact with the rotor once it is reinstalled. Remove the protective liner and then reinstall
the caliper to finish the installation.
