STEP 01

Reuse the lower shells

Remove three plastic fasteners on each side. Separate their center pins while preserving the lower fingered portions. Reinstall those lower portions to retain the original fender covers. Insert the new long centers in the middle positions and the short centers elsewhere.

STEP 02

Align before tightening

Rotate each rectangular fitting lengthwise with the car. Place each metal shroud over its fittings, compressing the original rubber cover slightly if needed. Fit the supplied M6x6 screws and black washers; hold the fitting down against rotation while tightening to 5–8 ft-lb.

STEP 03

Check the hood bumper

Lower the hood slowly and confirm that its rubber bumper enters the shroud opening. If needed, loosen screws and shift the shroud fore/aft for clearance. Recheck the hardware after one week of driving.
