PLEASE READ INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY BEFORE PRECEDING

We have provided complete instructions and in most applications specific hardware,3M tape, and specialized brackets or braces. The list of these items is listed on page two of the Instructions.
-Before starting please verify that they are included with the shipment.

Also verify that you received the correct Xenon part. All part numbers are embossed on the inside of the part. The list of part(s) is noted at the bottom of the page.

Tools & general materials required: #7447 Scotchbrite pads, TSP or TING cleaners, sandpaper, phillips screwdriver, drill, 7/64" drill bit, MEK, hacksaw.

THERE ARE FOUR PHASES TO MOST INSTALLATIONS:

1. Removal of factory parts that might interfere with the installation and TEST FIT the parts.
2. Preparation of the parts for paint - and painting.
3. Installation of the 3M tape (if applicable).
4. Installation of the parts.

PHASE 1) REMOVAL & TEST FIT

- Remove the stock rear bumper and space tire locking mechanism from the face of the bumper and both black plastic tubes leading to the spare tire lowering mechanism. CUT 1" from the end of the smaller tube.
- TEST FIT the parts to verify excellent hit- outline their location with a grease pencil if required.

NOTE :

Occasionally, our parts might seem to be slightly distorted upon test fit. If so, place them in the sun (if a warm day) or in a warm area for an hour or more. Our urethane formula does have a considerable "memory" and they should return to their original as manufactured shape. Always place our fender flares face side down when doing this procedure.

PHASE 2) PREPARATION OF PART FOR PAINTING& PAINT (if applicable)

- CLEAN the paintable and tape ledge surfaces with TSP or TING with water and #7447 Scotchbrite pads. Our parts have a wax based mold release and when the parts have been properly cleaned they will appear a dull gray color (not black or shinny).
- SAND the visable edges of the parts as needed (usually w/ 180 or 220 sandpaper).
- SAND all paintable surfaces with 320 wet - rinse well - let parts dry.
- WIPE down with a wax & grease remover such as RM900.
- PRIME the parts with a CATALIZED primer such as DuPont's "Europrimer" or equivalent.
- SAND primered surfaces with 600 sandpaper and FILL any slight imperfections or pin holes with "Evercoat" glazing putty or a catalized putty and sand smooth.
- WIPE down with RM900 or 3M8983.
- PAINT the parts following the paint manufacture's process and recommendations.
- DO NOT oven back our parts above 130 and they should be well supported during this heat cycle.

NOTE :

For fender flares - if you desire a non-gloss black paint finish you might consider DuPont "black vinyl" #305 Medium.

PHASE 3) INSTALLATION OF THE 3M TAPE

- WIPE the tape ledge twice with Acetone or MEK
- SCRATCH the tape ledge with 80 grit sandpaper. Then wipe the same surfaces with MEK followed by the 3M #4298 adhesion promotor.
- APPLY the tape, making sure to pull it slightly, V-cut as necessary going around curved areas and PRESS the tape on with the handle part of scissors.
- ALLOW the part to set with the tape applied, if possible for an hour or more in a warm area -- this will help with the curing process.

PHASE 4) INSTALLATION OF THE PART (perform in a warm area above 70 degrees)

-CLEAN the surface where the tape will contact with wax & grease remover, wipe the same area w/ MEK followed by 3M #4298 adhesion promotor.
- PULL up a corner of the end of the red tape backing so that it is visable outside the edge of the part.
- PLACE the part in it's correct position, pull the red backing from the tape and stick the part by applying pressure where the tape is.
- INSTALL all hardware as illustrated - DO NOT overtighten.

NOTE :

Some installers and restylers supplement or use in lieu of the tape and adhesive such as "Duramix" (Manufactured by Polymer Eng. Copr., 800.537.9204)
