Download GRIP highly recommends that our kits be installed by professionals with experience installing automotive aftermarket parts and accessories. However, we do recognize that many customers will install their own kits. GRIP will not issue refunds for improper installation, resulting in poor alignment and fit of the kit. All kits are sold with necessary attaching hardware. Some fasteners already on your vehicle may be reused, so care must be taken during removal. PLEASE NOTE: All GRIP body kits need to be properly sanded and primed before painting, even if the part arrives pre-primed. Failure to properly prepare parts before painting can result in poor paint finish and adhesion. Please pre-fit parts before painting! Once a part has been painted or modified in any way it cannot be returned. NOTE : GRIP will not be liable for any damage incurred in the installation of the kit. Any damage incurred will be the installer’s responsibility. Front Lip Note: parts need to be prepared/sanded to remove any surface irregularities before painting. 1. Carefully jack the vehicle up off of the ground enough so that you can remove the wheels. After placing jack stands, remove the rear wheels. 2. Test fit the front lip. Take note of the areas where the lip will attach to the body. If there are any irregularities due to vehicle build variances make adjustments by whatever means necessary. See Figure A. 3. Clean the area where the 3M tape will contact the vehicle surface with isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) to make sure that the surface is clean and free from dirt/wax to ensure best adhesion. Let the area dry thoroughly prior to installing. 4. Peel 2″ sections of the red tape liner back on all areas that have tape and fold over the part. Using a friend, install part utilizing the exposed 2″ sections of tape to allow you to line the GRIP part onto the stock fascia. See Figure B. Rocker Note: parts need to be prepared/sanded to remove any surface irregularities before painting. 1. Place vehicle on jack stands and remove wheels. 2. Dry fit the GRIP rocker to the vehicle, verify proper fit. 3. Remove the 2 lower plastic fasteners in the front wheel well splash shield. 4. 2 people will be needed to hold the rocker in place. Mark the GRIP rocker where these 2 holes are on the factory sheet metal, and drill holes in GRIP rocker that are the same size/location as stock as you will reuse these fasteners.
