PROCEDURE:
1. REMOVE CONTENTS FROM BOX. VERIFY ALL PARTS ARE PRESENT. READ INSTRUCTIONS
CAREFULLY BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION. ASSISTANCE IS RECOMMENDED. CUTTING
IS REQUIRED.
2. Remove the driver side and passenger side plastic splash guards and place them on a clean, stable
work area, (Figure 1). To make reinstallation easier, note the type and location of all factory fasteners.
The plastic center splash guard may also be removed for better access to hardware if necessary.
IMPORTANT: As an added precaution, apply a layer of masking tape to the openings in the bumper to
protect the painted finish during bracket installation, (Figure 2).
3. Starting on the driver side, remove the (3) factory bumper mount bolts located toward the outside of the
bumper mount, (Figure 3). Select the driver side frame mounting bracket and hold it in a horizontal
position, (Figure 4). Insert the mounting tab on the Bracket into the back of the grille opening and rotate
the Mounting Bracket up to the bumper bolts. Line up the (3) slots in the Mounting Bracket with the (3)
bolt locations for the factory bumper bracket. Secure the Frame Mounting Bracket to the factory bumper
bracket using the (3) factory bolts removed earlier, (Figure 5). Snug but do not tighten hardware at this
time. Repeat this Step for passenger side Frame Mounting Bracket installation.
4. Next, open the hood and remove the plastic cover between the top of the radiator and the grille. NOTE:
Pay close attention to the type and location of all factory hardware for easier reinstallation.
5. Select (2) Top Brackets and apply the Adhesive Backed Foam Tape to the underside (side facing the
bumper) to prevent damage to the bumper cover during installation. NOTE: Cut Foam Tape to fit and
only apply to areas that may come in contact with bumper cover, (Figure 8).
6. Remove the (2) plastic clips securing the bottom of the grille insert to the crossmember, (Figure 6 & 7).
Select (1) Top Bracket and from behind the grille, insert the Bracket through the opening in the grille
insert, (Figure 8). Line up the hole in the Top Bracket with the tab on the crossmember and secure with
(1) 8mm x 30mm Hex Bolt, (2) 8mm x 24mm x 2mm Flat Washers and (1) 8mm Nylon Lock Nut,
(Figure 9). Leave hardware loose. Repeat this step for passenger side Top Bracket installation.
