Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Remove Mud Flaps:

Remove (1) rivet near the wheel well liner and (1) rivet at the bottom of each mud flap using a flat head screwdriver.
Remove (2) screws near the wheel well liner per side using a Phillips screwdriver or 8 mm socket.
Keep the mud flaps for reinstallation.

2. Remove Rear Fascia:

Remove (1) rivet from each wheel well and (3) rivets from the bottom of the fascia using a flat head screwdriver.
Open the hatch and remove (2) screws near the brake light.
Detach the fascia carefully and trim it as needed (refer to Figure 4).

3. Lower Muffler:

Use exhaust removal pliers to detach (4) rubber hangers—(2) per exhaust and (1) in the middle of the car.
Spray lubricant or soapy water on the hangers to ease removal.
Support the exhaust to prevent damage before removing the rubber hangers.

4. Remove Heat Shield:

Remove (4) screws securing the heat shield to the vehicle using a 10 mm socket.
For dual exhaust models, remove both heat shields.

5. Remove Rubber Plugs:

Use a flat head screwdriver to remove (4) rubber plugs from the holes in the bottom of the frame.
Return the plugs to the customer.

6. Trim Heat Shield:

Use tin snips to trim the heat shield as shown in Figure 3.

7. Install Fasteners:

Feed the coiled end of the pull wire through the second attachment hole and out of the forward-most access hole in the frame.
Attach the 7/16" carriage bolt and 1/10" thick spacer block to the pull wire, and pull the fasteners into position.
Ensure the spacer blocks sit flat inside the frame and do not overlap. Repeat for all attachment points on both sides (refer to Figure 2).

8. Reinstall Heat Shield:

Reattach (2) of the (4) screws removed earlier.
Do not replace screws underneath the hitch bracket; the hitch will hold the shield in place.
