STEP 1:
Locate the small CARAMORE shield and the two locking nuts included in your package. To install this front small shield simply place it over the two existing bolts that are sticking out from the vehicle. The bolts are found behind the rear engine mount on the subframe.
DO NOT remove these bolts
STEP 2:
Place the large rear shield and align the two outer corners on the subframe. (red mark on the black rivets) Secure the two front outer holes with these rivets.
STEP 3:
Secure the two inner holes on the sides of the CARAMORE shield. Temporarily install the self-tapping screws into the inner holes on the sides of the shield.

Drill (6) 3/16" holes into the remaining holes. Then install the remaining
rivets.
