Installation Procedure:

1. Mask off the top surface of front fascia below the Grille to protect paint.

2. Remove factory Grille. Firmly grasp Grille just inboard of the Fog lights. In a swift motion, pull grille to dislodge the surrounding clips.

3. Remove Fog Lights. Using a Close quarter Hacksaw (or blade) cut the molded bracketry that hold the lights in place. After the bracketry has been cut, disconnect the wiring.

4. Secure wiring harness. Wrap the ends of the wiring connectors with electrical tape to keep out debris. Fold the harness and secure with the provided Zip Ties as shown in pics.

5. Remove center bar. Using same saw as step 3, remove the center bar.

6. “Black Out” the radiator. We suggest using a black self etching primer to black out the radiator for best performance. A flat or low gloss spray paint will work too.

7. Clean the grille surround area.

8. Install your CDC Performance Grille. Simply press Grille into location. Make sure all molded fasteners properly engage.

9. Install Push Pin. Press Push Pin through the tab on the back side of the Grille into the hole on the Driver side of the Hood Latch. Refer to images below.

10. OPTIONAL. Install the Badge Bracket. Clean between the Grille Bars with the provided Alcohol and allow to dry. Apply the provided Adhesion Promoter and allow to dry. Peal the backing from the 3M tape and install Badge Bracket in desired location. NOTE: CDC provides a universal style Badge Bracket that is intended to be placed between the Grille Bars on the Passenger side of the Grille. CDC does NOT provide the Badge, only the Badge Bracket. There are several Badges on the market that will fit in this location.
