(Fig 8) Hold air dam up to bottom of Brackets. Trace
Bracket location onto inside of air dam. Dashed lines
indicate approximate sections to cut from air dam
Do not cut through the
top edge of the air dam
Front
Hold the plastic air dam up to the bumper and align it with the
mounting points. Mark the location of the Mounting Brackets onto
the back of the air dam, (Fig 8). Cut an approximately 1-1/2" wide
slot out of the bottom of the air dam.
NOTE: The size of the slot is an estimate only and may vary due
to different factory designs for the air dam and front bumper
covers.
IMPORTANT: To avoid weakening the air dam, do not cut the slot
any larger than necessary to clear Brackets only. Do not cut thr-
ough the top edge or mounting points, (Fig 8). Make several small
cuts first and check the fit often for a clean installation.
