CAUTION:
WHEN WORKING UNDER YOUR CAR ALWAYS USE THE RIGHT
EQUIPMENT FOR THE JOB. DON’T BE TEMPTED TO TAKE SHORT CUTS
OR USE INAPPROPRIATE SUPPORTS SUCH AS CONCRETE BLOCKS,
BRICKS OR WOOD. NEVER WORK UNDERNEATH A VEHICLE THAT IS
ONLY SUPPORTED BY A JACK. ONLY USE AXLE APPROVED STANDS OR
CAR RAMPS THAT ARE IN GOOD CONDITION AND PROPERLY RATED
FOR YOUR VEHICLE’S WEIGHT.
INSTALLATION:
1. Raise your car onto axle-stands or ramps that so you can easily work
under the front bumper of your vehicle.
2. Clean the underside of the bumper to remove any loose dirt or damaged
hanging plastic bits caused by run-ins with parking lot curbs or ?. A
smooth surface is desired.
3. Place a piece of masking tape on your bumper nose at the point it wraps
and goes underneath. Determine the centerline of the bumper by
measuring the full width the grill opening and dividing by 2. (Grill width/2)
Mark this point on the masking tape.
4. Place a piece of masking tape in the approximate center on the splitter.
Determine and mark the centerline of the splitter.
5. Place the splitter up to the bottom side of your bumper, aligning the back
edge of the splitter with the rear vertical lip on the underside of the bumper
and the centerline marks on the bumper and splitter. Position the splitter
so there is no gap between the splitter and the back edge on the
underside of your bumper. (A friend is very helpful at this point) If you want
more splitter showing slide the splitter toward the front of the car to get the
desired overhang. Verify the splitter is centered and the overhang is equal
left and right.
6. Using a ¼” drill bit or a silver Sharpie® and the splitter as a template
guide, mark the bottom of your bumper cover at the thirteen (13) locations
shown below. See Figure #1.
Check three (3) times that the marks and the splitter are aligned
correctly before drilling!
