PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE STARTING THE INSTALLATION. THE MANUFACTURER IS IN NO WAY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY PERSONAL INJURY OR VEHICLE DAMAGE THAT MAY OCCUR DURING THE INSTALLATION.

1. NOTE: Cover the hood around the grille shell with masking tape to protect the finish of the hood when removing the factory grille shell and installing the Grille.

2. Open the hood and use a 10mm socket wrench to remove the (6) factory hex nuts from across the top of the factory grille shell (Fig 1).

3. Use a T-25 Torx wrench to remove the (6) screws from across the bottom of the factory grille shell (Fig 2). NOTE: Save these screws for later use.

4. Slightly pull on one of the top corners of the factory grille shell and carefully slide a thin flat head screw driver between shell and hood (Fig 3). IMPORTANT! Do not let screw driver touch visible edge of the hood at any time.

5. Once the screw driver is in place, carefully pull the shell away from the hood with screw driver. Start on one side and work your way across the opposite side of the grille shell, then remove grille shell from vehicle.


6. Position Grille over vehicle cavity and attach the top of the Grille to vehicle by inserting the metal clips into the same factory grille shell mounting locations (Fig 4). IMPORTANT! Make sure the carriage bolts on the top of the grille are in place and aligned with the holes in the hood, and then carefully push on the top of the Grille until the top metal clips are fully engaged.

7. Secure the top of the grille with Carriage Bolts and the 5mm Hex Nuts included (Fig 5). Do not tighten at this time.

8. Proceed to secure the bottom of the Grille to previous factory grille shell mounting locations. Align Grille and then tighten the (6) factory Torx Screws removed in Step 3 (Figure 5). Tighten all hardware at this time.

9. Do periodic inspections to the installation to make sure is secure and tight.
