Be sure to prepare the surface that the canards will make contact with prior to install. Be sure to use a cleaning solution that does not leave any residue. If the contact areas are unclear, you can test fit the canards to confirm which areas need to be cleaned.

Keep in mind that if you have paint protection products on your vehicle such as Ceramic Coating, Paint Protection film, or any other protective coating that may reduce a proper adhesive bond MUST be removed in the areas where the adhesive makes contact with the vehicle. Failure to remove paint protection materials prior to installation may lead to accelerated failure of the adhesive bond, and damage the product. Improper installation of this product is not covered by our limited parts warranty. If the above note is unclear, please contact our support team at support@unpluggedperformance.com, or consult local experts in paint protection services for further support.

Test fit each canard and outline each canard placement using masking tape as shown below. It may be helpful to pull the lead end of the adhesive backing to temporarily hold the canards against the fascia so that tape can be applied. Then remove the canards.

Before you install the canards, be sure to pull the backing tape at each edge so that it can be pulled away once the lip spoiler is in the correct location.

With the canards contact points outlined by masking tape, use the supplied adhesive promoter where the canards adhesive will make contact. ONLY do this on one side of the vehicle for now. Repeat on the other side once step 4 is complete.

Install the canards onto the front bumper. Adjust the canards accordingly until desired placement is achieved.

Once desired placement is achieved, apply pressure towards the canards while removing the lead ends to ensure the desired placement is locked in place.

Apply even pressure throughout the adhesive contact area to ensure the adhesive is properly securing the canards to the front fascia.

Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the other canards. Then remove all masking tape.

Congratulations! You have completed your front canards installation!

The cure time for the adhesive is a few hours, so be sure not to expose the car to moisture for at least 24 hours after installation. Otherwise, you are all set to go!
