2004-2009 Toyota Prius l4 1.5L Catalytic Converter Protection Shield Deluxe Version

After you install what the standard version includes, if you have purchased this deluxe one you can install the front rail first for easier installation.

Package Contents:                

(1) Stainless rail(rear)

(1) Stainless rail(front)      

(5) 3/16"Rivets Stainless  

(2) M10 Nut             

(2) M10 Star Lock Washer    

(2) M10×80 Bolt

(2) M10 Flat Washers

There are two bolts in the rear engine mount. Remove one bolt at a time and replace with the M10×80 bolts and washers supplied in the hardware kit.

Once the bolts are installed, place the front shield on top of the bolts in the engine bay through the point between the drive axle and sub-frame. The two holes will slide over the new longer bolts that were installed in the previous step.

Use the supplied M10 lock washers and nuts to secure the front plate into place. You can gain access by turning the tire out and reaching through the spot outlined.

Hold up the rear rail and center it with the exhaust pipe. Clamp each side down with locking pliers (vise grips )and then mark your holes. You can then remove and drill or skip removal and drill the holes. Check the next marking after each hole to ensure the rail has not moved.

Install the center rivet and check for hole alignment. Check the exhaust pipe cutout to ensure it is still center as well. Install remaining rivets, double check clearance and you are good to go!
