American Car Craft Corvette Stingray Front Lip Spoiler Polished 2014+ C7 - Manual (Page 2)

3- Now that all preparations have been made, remove the protective liner. Peel back a
small length of the red release liner from the two corners creating a sort of pull tab.
With your back on the ground and with the help of a friend, set the spoiler into position,
align all the holes and loosely install all the factory screws.
4- Before you tighten anything, take a look at the spoiler from the top and make sure that
you have good centering and that the two small holes on the corners are aligned with
the small edge of the bumper cover. Once everything looks good, peel the red release
liner out completely and proceed to tighten all the factory screws as you press along the
spoiler’s front edge. This will set the bond.
5- You will notice that the lip spoiler has six additional round holes. These holes have been
added to increase the attachment points of the spoiler as well as force the lip spoiler to
conform to the bumper cover. Using a 1/8” drill bit, pilot all six holes. Take special
attention to the holes at the far corners. Make sure your pilot hole is aligned nice and
centered to the bumper cover edge. Also make sure that your pilot hole is aimed into
the bumper cover. Eliminating any possibility of drilling through the outer painted
surface
6- Install the four washer head screws provided. The 2 front and center holes, as well as
the two corner locations. The two screws at the front and center location, will install
into the meat of the bumper covers inner sub structure, which is made of a hard plastic
.
Take special care not to strip these two screws . Just snug will work
perfectly. Take the same precaution for the two screws at the corners.
7- The two remaining hole locations will allow you to reach into the bumper cover and set
the two flat nuts that are provide. They will secure this area of the spoiler.
8- You have been provided with a length of chrome finishing trim. The application of this
trim is not mandatory. However it will add a nice finish to the bond between the spoiler
and bumper cover. Should you elect to install the trim, apply a thin bead of adhesive
promoter using the promoter tube that was supplied with your kit. Simply squeeze the
tube until the vile inside breaks it will soak the tip of the pen. Swipe a single continuous
bead along the bonded edge of the spoiler and allow a few minutes to dry.
9- Snip the edge of the chrome trim with a pruning sheer or scissor to create an angled end
of the trim. Set the trim onto the corner for a second to see the mild turn in the body
and make note of that to the trim. Then with your fingers pre bend the trim so that the
trim will conform to the shape of the body. This will insure that the trim will not pop out
of shape after time. In fact this is how you will apply the trim along the entire length of
the spoiler. Pre shaping the trim as you go, so as to tuck the trim nice and tight to the
body. Peel a small length of the red release liner from the trimmed edge and firmly
press it onto the corner edge of the spoiler. Without stretching the trim set it onto the
spoiler making sure to lay it nice and strait and without any unsightly waves as you pull
the red release liner. Once you have successfully inserted the trim, press firmly along its
length to set the bond. Make a special effort to shape the trim into and around the
corners. Since the trim will have a tendency to shrink a little over time, pre shaping the
