How to Install Cervini's Stalker Front Bumper - Unpainted (99-04 All) on your Ford Mustang
Part #3355 - Stalker Front Bumper
The front bumper fascia installs in the factory locations. Your factory bumper has threaded stud plates riveted on the inside edge of the bumper where it bolts to the fender. The rivets must be drilled out to remove the threaded stud plate. Install the mounting bracket to the Stalker bumper with the provided aluminum rivets.
For extra support, we have supplied 2 braces that are installed on the bottom of the bumper and to the existing radiator support holes as shown in Fig. A. Use the supplied bolts, nuts, washers and retainers to attach the braces.
Part #3356 - Stalker Rear Bumper
The rear bumper fascia installs in the factory locations. After removing your factory bumper, remove the metal mounting brackets from each side of the factory bumper. Install the mounting bracket to the Stalker bumper with the provided aluminum rivets. The Stalker rear bumper has a 3/4” bottom ledge. This ledge is the main support of the lower bumper. It’s held in place by a matching ledge on the gas tank of the car, as shown in Fig. B. After the bumper has been painted, place a 1/4” bead of black silicone on the gas tank ledge before installing and wait 24 hours before driving.
Part #4357 - Stalker Side Skirts
Pre-fit side skirts. While in place, re-install factory screws inside each inner fender well. Drill a 1/8” hole through the remaining holes in the side skirts where it meets in each fender well and install the flat head Phillips screw. To ensure a secure fit order new clip moldings - Ford Part #s LXR3Z6313209DAA and RXR3Z3613208DAA. Install these after the part has been painted.
Hardware list is on the reverse side.
IMPORTANT: Install all screens with the black 3/8” long flathead Phillips screws (#WE2225) in the pre-drilled holes.
PAINTING INSTRUCTIONS
VERY IMPORTANT: The following painting procedures MUST be followed EXACTLY for PROPER ADHESION and to prevent fish eyes.
1. To remove any mold release contaminants, clean the back of the part fi rst. Using 2 new clean rags, saturate the fi rst rag with plastic prep cleaner* and begin cleaning. Then use the second rag to remove the prep cleaner. Continuously fold both rags to their clean sides during the process. Use 3 sets of new rags throughout the process. This prevents mold release contaminants from transferring to the painted surface.
2. Repeat step one on the front of the part.
3. Rinse the part with water. Apply a generous amount of Ajax® or sand fi x* to a red scuff pad* (3M Scotch Brite Brand) and scrub the surface to be painted THOROUGHLY (especially where the 2-sided tape is installed, on the back side of the part, and all the hard to reach areas). Then rinse with water and dry. The scrubbed surface should be dull. If any shiny spots show, repeat the process on those areas.
4. Using another set of clean new rags, again clean the surface to be painted with plastic prep cleaner.
5. Spray the surface to be painted with adhesion promoter* including the areas where the 2-sided tape is installed (follow the instructions on the can for application and drying time).
6. Apply 3 to 4 coats of urethane primer* with fl ex additive* (follow the instructions on the can for application and drying time).
7. Wet sand primer with 600 grit sandpaper. Be careful not to sand through the primer. If you do, you MUST clean those areas with plastic prep cleaner, apply adhesion promoter and prime. Once the primer has dried, wet sand the areas that were touched up. Your surface is now ready for paint.
