1. After the front lip spoiler is prepped and painted, double-sided tape should be applied to the indentation on the inside of the front spoiler. This surface has to be CLEAN and DRY for the tape to properly adhere. A residual-free cleaner is recommended (e.g. Wurth ™ Clean-Solve) to prepare the surface. The surface of the vehicle should also be prepped and cleaned for proper adhesion. (Fig.1) For BEST results after cleaning, use of an adhesion promoter such as 3M™ part #06396 should be applied to wherever tape will be used. When applying tape, make sure that tape is smooth and wrinkle free. It is best to use multiple small pieces on long sections rather than 1 long piece.
2. After applying the tape, pull back approximately 1 inch of protective covering from the tape on each end. Make sure the film is sticking out. (Fig.2) Place the front lip spoiler GENTLY on the vehicle and make sure you have it positioned correctly. If adhesion promoter was used you will NOT get a second chance! While holding it in position, pull the tabs you created while applying light downward pressure. Continue this taking care not to tear off the tabs by pulling to hard. After all the film is removed, apply firm pressure all around to insure the tape has bonded properly.
3. DONE! Enjoy the looks of your new Stillen front lip spoiler.
