- Estimated time: 30–60 minutes
Instructions:
- Park the vehicle on a flat surface and engage the parking brake; if needed, raise and support the front end safely.
- Inspect the existing valance and note the locations of old fasteners; apply penetrating oil to any rusted hardware and allow to soak.
- Remove old fasteners and any damaged clips; carefully detach the valance if necessary to access all mounting points.
- Clean mating surfaces and check valance alignment with the bumper and body.
- Position the valance and install new bolts, washers, clips, and nuts from the kit in the original locations; hand-start all fasteners to ensure proper alignment.
- Tighten fasteners evenly until the valance is snug—avoid overtightening that could deform trim or crack the valance.
- Recheck alignment and torque (if known or using a torque wrench) and reassemble any removed components.
- Test drive at low speed and recheck fasteners for tightness after initial use.
