PTEAZER™ RETRO FULL GRILLE/BUMPERETTE FRONT FASCIA (2-PC)
WITH STEEL REINFORCEMENT
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS PART # PZG128U/PZF117U SERIES 042302

IMPORTANT: Be sure to test fit all parts to the vehicle before painting as PTEAZER will not be responsible for the painting on a defective part that must be returned.

STEPS:
1. REMOVE FACTORY GRILLE: Using a 7mm Socket, remove the four screws at the top of the grille, then push grille down from top and at the same time pull forward. (Do not discard the screws, you will need them when reinstalling the PTeazer grille.)
2. Using 7mm Socket remove the three screws on splashguard and edge of factory bumper. Repeat on both sides. Remove three screws on bottom of the scuff strip where fastened to lower radiator support panel. Also remove the two screws at grille opening (where grille mounts).
3. On both sides of the factory bumper, where it meets the fenders, remove two 10mm nuts using a 10mm tube socket.
4. Pull splash guard back, reach in and DISCONNECT FOG LIGHTS. On left side by fog lamp, remove speed clip on splashguard.
5. Bumper cover is now ready to be removed.
6. REMOVE ORIGINAL REINFORCEMENT: Use 13mm Socket to remove bolts. (Save bolts for installing the PTeazer reinforcement.)
7. Remove all hardware from stock bumper and place in same place on new PTeazer Front Fascia. DON'T FORGET TO PLACE FOG LAMPS IN PTEAZER FASCIA BEFORE FITTING TO CAR.
8. Before fitting PTeazer Fascia, BOLT YOUR PTEAZER REINFORCEMENT IN PLACE using the bolts from the stock reinforcement.
9. Using the original bumper cover lower fasteners, ATTACH SCUFF STRIP to PTeazer Fascia. (OPTIONAL)
10. You are now ready to fit your PTeazer Fascia using exactly the same screws from your stock bumper.
INSTALL PTEAZER FRONT FASCIA to existing factory bumper cover mounting locations. (This may require two people to ensure correct installation. Minor adjustments may be necessary.)

NOTE: Some fascias may need cut outs in the plastic scuff-strip to clear the two outermost bolt heads located on the bottom of the radiator support. Try fitting part first before making cuts.

NOTE: In some cases, due to factory assembly variations, headlamps may need to be adjusted down slightly if there is a gap between the fascia and lamps.

11. When satisfied with fit, REMOVE fascia and scuff-strip. (Remember to test fit fog lights prior to final paint, as some adjustment may be needed).
12. Follow PAINT Instructions below. Reinstall fog lights and spoiler.
13. REINSTALL Fascia. Connect fog lights.
14. Once the fascia is fitted you can now slip your new PTEAZER GRILLE in place. This grille will locate at the bottom of the fascia and at the same points as the stock grille.
