Be sure to prepare the surface that the rear spats 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 rear spats 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.
Place the rear spat over the factory rear fascia to check for proper fitment.Test fit each rear spat, and outline each canard placement using masking tape as shown below.
Before you install the rear spats, 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.
Once you have determined where to place the rear spats, apply the supplied adhesive promoter to the areas where the rear diffuser adhesive will make contact with the fascia. ONLY do this on one side of the vehicle for now. Repeat on the other side once step 4 is complete.
Install the rear spat onto the rear fascia. Adjust the rear spat accordingly until desired placement is achieved.
Once desired placement is achieved, apply pressure towards the rear diffuser trim while removing the lead ends to ensure the desired placement is locked in place. Then remove all masking tape.
Congratulations! You have completed your rear spats 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!
