1. Clean and open the hood. Make sure that the
hood is free of any dirt or debris.
2. Trial fit Hood Shield by aligning the mounting holes of the Hood Shield with the
matching holes in the hood. (Figure 1)
3. Attach supplied hardware to hood shield. Use figure 1 and 2 as a guide for
proper hardware placement.
4. Re-fit Hood Shield to the factory hood by aligning the rubber well nuts up with
the factory slots. (Figure 1) Attach Hood Shield to the vehicle by installing the
center mounting points first and working outwards. Tighten screws just enough
to hold hood shield in place.
5. Center Hood Shield on the hood and tighten screws using a Philips screw
driver until snug. Close hood carefully to check the fitment. If the Hood Shield
is not centered loosen the screws and adjust until it is centered and re-tighten
the screws.
6. Attach rubber bump-on to the factory hood where the corners of the Hood
Shield are closest to the hood. (Figure 3) Clean area first with isopropyl
alcohol and remove adhesive backing from bump-on and apply to hood.
