Read and understand all instructions before installing or using this product. Your BumperShellz™ have been

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

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. On this model, we highly recommend removing the four push-pin clips (two
per side) that attach at the bottom of either end of the bumper cap. With these removed, it will be much
easier to pry areas of the step pad up at your discretion to increase the ease of installation. Use a trim tool,
flat head screwdriver and/or pliers to grab the head of the clip and pull it
out. It is possible these clips could be damaged when removing them.
Replacement clips are available at most auto parts stores.
•
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
products available at many auto stores.
