STEP 1
Begin by opening all pieces included
and inspecting them prior to install.
If you are missing any components
or have any questions prior to your
install, please contact the company
the item was purchased from.
Open the hood to the vehicle and
start by removing the chrome accent
on the grill. This does not have to
be removed, but it does make the
cutting process easier. You will need
to remove the two 10mm bolts on top
and the small phillips head screws
about halfway down the grill.
The chrome insert should pull away
from the grill by pressing down the
small clips.

STEP 2
Unplug the factory fog lights and the
four sensors leaving the lights and
the sensors in the bumper. Secure
the wiring up and out of the way to
prevent any damage during install.
STEP 3
Once all items are unplugged, you are
ready to mark for cutting. We used a
expo marker and masking tape. Using
the images, mark your bumper. Using
a sharp razor blade or cut off wheel
slowly cut the fascia of the bumper.

STEP 4
Once bumper is cut, replace the
chrome insert. Remove the factory
crash bar from the four bolts on
each side of the frame (Not shown
in image). Keep the factory hardware
since this will be reused.
Note: We added ¼” trim edging to our cut
edge. This can be purchased at most auto
parts store, however this is optional.

STEP 5
Using the factory 14mm head, loosely
mount the two winch plate mounts.
With the two brackets in place,
loosely attached the winch plate to
the two main brackets using the
provided M12 hardware.
STEP 6
Install the skid plate mounts
next. These will use the same M12
hardware. The bolt that attaches
to the winch plate will be through-
bolted, however the other bolt will
thread directly into the frame.

STEP 9
If you are going to run a winch, now
is the time to install it. Tighten winch
down until secure.
Note: This bumper was designed to use
a “Hawse” style fairlead. Most synthetic
rope winches will come with them;
however, steel breaded winches will need
a steel Hawse fairlead to be compatible.
With the grill removed, install the
center section loosely using the M12
provided hardware.
Note: We have included an optional light
bracket. This can be mounted on the front
most bolt for the center section as shown.
STEP 8
Remove the grill from the center
section using an 8mm socket/wrench
and a #3 allen wrench. This will remain
off the center section for majority of
the install. We ship this installed for
safety of the grill during transit.

STEP 10
STEP 11
Next you are ready to tighten down
all the current components. We used
a oor jack and raised the center
section until the winch plate brackets
were straight. These were tightened
down and secured.
Next, secure the six M12 bolts
that attach the winch plate to the
brackets. Then you will move to the
skid plate brackets.
Lastly you will secure the center
section. Ensuring the center is even
between the chrome accents. Lift up
and push back as far as the center
section allows and secure the six M12
bolts in place.
Once the center section is completed,
we will move to the wings. The factory
lights are utilized. These are simply
removed by the single 10mm bolt in
the middle of the light. Use this same
bolt to attach to our bracket. Once
the light is in place, use the provided
M6 bolts to secure the light/bracket
combo in place. With light pressure,
push the bracket and tighten down
and secure in place.

STEP 14
The sensors are easily removed from
the factory bumper by twisting them
out. The sensors are fragile, so we
recommend taking time on removing
stubborn ones. Ensuring the sensors
are in the same location as the
factory bumper, place them into the
bumper and secure using the small
arm attached. Secure with #3 allen
head wrench.
Secure wings into center section
using the M12 provided hardware.
This is much easier with a second set
of hands. Once wings in place, check
to ensure bottom of wing and center
section are ush, and the end of the
wings is aligned with the wheel well.
Secure into place and repeat steps 12-
14 on opposite side.
STEP 13
Using the provided cut foam, adhere
foam to wings as shown.

STEP 17
Next, using the provided M10
hardware, attach the wing support
on the driver side to the frame as
shown. Leave these very loose. Using
M12 bolts, pull bracket to the bumper
and secure. This will be tight and
may seem incorrect at rst, but it is
designed to use tension. Secure all
points down.
Optional Step: (Using a 15/64 Drill,
drill through the hole in the top of the
center section into the grill. You can
use the provided M6 button head allen
bolts to secure the grill to the bumper.
STEP 16
The passenger bracket will be installed
the same way, however, to prevent
damage to the windshield reservoir
Place the bolts in so that the threads
are facing the front of the vehicle.

Using the provided hardware, install
the grill onto the bumper and secure.
STEP 19

grill the same as the wings.
If running a winch, install the fairlead
rst. You will use this to help align the
grill onto the bumper.

STEP 21
Lastly, install the skid plate. Using
the provided M12 bolts, secure the
front three. The rear two M12 will be
tightened with the provided nut and
washers. Lastly, use the two provided
M6 hardware to attach the two rearmost
holes in the skid plate. Not all the holes
in the skid plate are used as some are
ventilation and drain holes.
STEP 22
You are now done with the install of your
new DV8 Lexus GX460 Front Bumper.
