INSTALL TIPS
I will eventually create a more elaborate installation guide but for now here is a quick and dirty:
1) Remove all rubber trim surrounding the metal bumper, there are three separate pieces. This requires access to the trunk. If you have carpeted panels lining the insides of the trunk, those must come out to gain access to the nuts holding the trim on. Remove all 8mm nuts and pull the trim off.
2) Remove the metal bumper by loosening the bumper shocks. Each bumper shock has one 13mm bolt and two 13mm nuts . All are accessed from under the car except for one inside the trunk near the battery. Once these are removed, the bumper should pull straight out and off the car.
3) The bumper shocks are attached to the metal bumper by a bracket. Remove the two 13mm nuts to separate them. You will see the bumper shock is attached to the bracket via a large 19mm bolt and nut.
4) Loosen the 19mm nut to separate the bumper shock from the bracket. Install the bracket onto the new High Dive bumper mount using the existing 19mm nut and bolt.
5) Reinstall the bumper mount and bracket onto the metal bumper in it's original location and bolt the bumper back up to the car!
6) Now it's time to install the sheet metal trim panels. Each panel has three holes and a locating tab.
7) Test fit the trim panel, the locating tab can be bent and manipulated in such a way to hold it tight to the bumper (this is to avoid having visible hardware on top).
8) Hold the trim tight to the wheel well lip and line it up until you are happy with the fitment. Install two self-tapping screws into the wheel well lip.
9) Hold the trim panel tight to the bumper and install self-tapping screw underneath up into the metal bumper.
10) You're done!
