Read and understand all instructions before installing or using this product. Your BumperShellz™ have been
specifically designed to fit your truck, so no modifications to your original equipment bumper should be
necessary to successfully install your BumperShellz™. If you are uncomfortable installing the BumperShellz™
yourself, please contact a qualified professional. If after reading these instructions you have any further
unanswered questions, please check out the FAQ's on our website, or view a helpful installation video at
http://www.ecoological.com/ecoological-video-library.html. You may also call our toll-free number (866-300-

immediately void all manufacturer warranties. The manufacturer disclaims all liability for injuries to persons and
property resulting from modifications to, or unintended use of this product.

If your bumper has any significant pre-existing dents, you may want to remove the bumper and try to pound
some of these out. Small dings and rust can usually be directly covered by BumperShellz™ if trim lines between
plastic trim/step pad and exposed steel bumper are in their original shape. A distorted bumper will negatively
affect the fit of your BumperShellz™.

Your BumperShellz™ are assembled to your bumper by tucking the perimeter flange under the existing plastic
trim pieces. It is usually sufficient to lift the edge of the trim in these areas with a non-scratching pry tool and
progressively sliding the flange underneath the trim and, unless otherwise specified, should not require
removal of the trim.

Your BumperShellz™ are secured in place with 3M™ Automotive Acrylic Foam Attachment Tape. Optimal
temperature for installation is between 20°C (68°F) to 38°C (100°F) and
temperature is below 15°C, a hair dryer or heat gun may be used at your discretion to warm the bumper
surface. BumperShellz™ should be acclimated at "room temperature" prior to installation.

Make sure your bumper is clean, dry, and free of debris. Use a cleaner that will remove oil/grease to clean
bumper surface, followed by wiping the bonding surface areas of your bumper
isopropyl rubbing alcohol and a clean lint-free white cotton rag or clean disposable toweling. Do not use shop
rags which may have dirt or oily residues. For superior results use
available at many auto stores.
NOTE: We recommend Dry-Fitting all BumperShellz pieces to their specific locations BEFORE removing ANY of the
red backing strips from the tape. Make sure all pieces are correct, i.e., you have received all pieces shown above,
with or without sensor holes, etc., color/pattern is correct, and that all are undamaged. There should not be any
(or extremely minimal) bumper surface visible once flanges are slid under trim and sensor holes (if present) are
centered over sensor trim. Dry Fitting is also good practice for lining up each piece and guiding it into place,
visualizing how to do it when the backing strips are removed and the tape is STICKY.
Note that once the backing is removed we cannot give full credit for return.
 Remove license plate and frame by removing two attachment screws. License plate
lamps are removed by unscrewing the fastener and disengaging clips by tilting the
housing. Lamp assembly is then removed by rotating it in relation to the housing
(Fig. 1).
