Enclosed in the package you will find:

• FBM550M mask

• Hardware kit containing:

• 4 snap-head screw studs

• 4 washers (optional)

• 1 Adhesive-backed Velcro swatch

• Installation instructions & warranty information

 

Tools That May Be Required:

Step #1

Clean the bumper and surfaces under the car and the fender wells thoroughly.  Turn the front wheels to gain easier access to the fender liner mounting screws that you will be replacing.

Step #2

Locate the fender liner mounting screws at the edge of the bumper inside the fender and remove the two (2) screws attaching the fender liner to the front bumper that best align with the snaps on the sides of the mask.  See Figures 2.1 and 2.2 for recommended OEM screw locations for removal:

Step #3

Install the snap-head screws.  Supplied washer may be used if required or preferred to ensure the fender liner has been re-secured.

 

Step #4

Begin the mask installation by fastening the snaps on one end of the mask to the screws just installed on the edge of the bumper.

Step #5

Stretch the mask across the front of the bumper and attach to the other side of the car.

 

Step #6

To install the top of the mask, stretch the mask up and secure the paracord loop at the corners of the mask over the hood stop for both top corners. Make sure the cord loop is fully secured to the base of the stop. See Figures 6.1 and 6.2 for OEM hood stop locations for loop:

Step #7

Prior to closing the hood, ensure the hem of the mask is tucked under the latching mechanism and does not cover the latch to avoid tearing the mask (see Figure 7.1) 

Figure 7.1

Step #8

Pull the bottom edge of the mask down under the bumper. The installation is now complete.

Splitter Equipped Vehicle and Optional Adjustment: If your vehicle is equipped with a front-end splitter or other ground effects, use of the Velcro component will likely be required.  Note the position of the Velcro strip on the bottom/center of the mask. Mark this position on the car and install the mating piece of Velcro to the stretch or tightness desired, taking care to completely clean the mounting surface.
