Ford F-150 2015-2017

Extra tools: Needle-nose pliers, plastic trim tool

Before you start:

• Take off the front license plate bracket if fitted.
• Pry off the factory bumperettes / plastic grille insert with a plastic trim tool (or a screwdriver wrapped in tape). If you can reach behind the bumper, squeeze the clips with pliers to release them. Remove the two side pieces before the center piece.
• With the bumperettes off, you may be able to reach the clips on the upper trim piece. Removing that trim is optional but can make installation easier.

Install notes:

• Install the side covers first. Wrap each one around the corner of the bumper, pull it tight and lay it flush. Make sure no chrome is left uncovered.
• Then fit the center cover so its edges overlap the side covers. If you could not remove the upper trim, lift its edge with a trim tool or credit card and slide the cover underneath.
• Refit the factory grille insert by lining up the tabs with the slots and pressing firmly (a firm tap may be needed). Refit the upper trim so it overlaps the new cover.

Watch for:

• Some covers have white guide lines on the back. They mark optional trim areas: slots for a front license plate frame on upgraded fascia/grille covers, and the tow hook plug area on trucks without front tow hooks. Cutting is permanent, so only trim after a dry fit and work slowly (a Dremel, file or belt sander, leaving a sliver of the line).

Ford F-150 2018-2020

Extra tools: Needle-nose pliers, plastic trim tool and credit cards

Before you start:

• Remove the front license plate bracket if fitted.
• Pry off the stock bumperettes / plastic grille insert (sides first, then the center piece). Squeezing the clips from behind with pliers makes this easier.

Install notes:

• Side covers first. Use a trim tool or credit card to open a gap between the rubber trim and the bumper, and guide the edge of the cover under the spacer. On sensitive finishes such as Matte Black, put masking tape on the cover where the tool could mark it.
• Push the center-facing edge of each side cover as far toward the center as it will go and make sure the corner flanges sit tight, so the center cover overlaps properly.
• The center cover has longer tabs that tuck under the rubber trim along the top of the bumper. Center it before tucking them in.
• To refit the factory grille insert, take the metal clips off, slide one of the included rubber spacers over each clip tab, then refit the clips.

Ford F-150 2021-2023

Extra tools: Plastic pry / trim tool

Install notes:

• Wipe the included adhesion promoter over every area the tape will touch and let it dry before installing.
• Start with the side sections. Wrap the outside edge around the wheel well and bring the face toward the center of the truck. Tuck the lip underneath the lower tow hook cover with a trim tool.
• Check that any park-assist sensors sit in the middle of their holes before pressing the tape down.
• Peel the protective film back from the edges of the side covers before fitting the center section, so it does not get trapped. The center section must sit centered between the sides with the style lines lined up.

Watch for:

• On matte finishes, tape along the trim you will be prying so the tool cannot scuff the surface.

Ford F-150 2024-2025 (overlay)

Extra tools: Isopropyl alcohol, clean rags, plastic pry tool

Before you start:

• Lift the edges of the center of the bumper with a trim tool so the overlay can slide in snugly.

Install notes:

• Apply the adhesion promoter stick along every area the tape will touch. If the overlay has a protective film, peel it back along the edges first.
• Side sections first: peel the backing off the interior tape completely, and peel back only the first inch of the backing on the perimeter tape, folding it over to the front and taping it down so you can pull it later.
• Wrap each side piece around the corner. Its top edge can catch on the center fog lamp bezel section; use the trim tool to make a little room. Check the area around the fog lamp before pressing.
• The center section overlaps the edges of the side pieces.

Ford F-250 / F-350 2017-2019

Extra tools: Socket / wrench, needle-nose pliers, plastic pry tool

Before you start:

• Remove all of the lower trim bolts holding the plastic lower valance to the bumper. Some other trim may need to come off temporarily to reach every bolt.

Install notes:

• Wipe the adhesion promoter over all tape areas.
• Side sections first. Peel back 1-2 inches of backing on the top-edge tape strip, fold it to the front and tape it down with masking tape. Remove the rest of the backing.
• Wrap the cover around from the wheel-well corner toward the center. The screw holes on the bottom of the cover must line up with the bumper holes. Once it is positioned, pull the taped-down backing to adhere the top edge while holding the part in place.
• Center cover: same peel-and-tape method on the side and center-opening strips. If you have a front license plate bracket, slip the lower lip between the bracket and the bumper first.
• Refit the lower valance and any other trim you removed.

Ford F-250 / F-350 2020-2022

Extra tools: Socket / wrench, needle-nose pliers, plastic pry tool

Before you start:

• Remove the lower valance bolts (extra trim may need to come off for access).
• Remove the plastic trim from the center of the bumper.
• Pop off the fog lamp surrounds with a plastic trim tool.

Install notes:

• The kit includes oversized replacement clips and rubber spacers for refitting trim.
• Side sections: pry up the edge of the black plastic upper trim and slip the cover underneath, then wrap it around the corner. The gasket on top of the bumper can catch the cover; make room with the trim tool.
• Check the fog lamp area and the clearance holes for the lower bumper bolts before pressing.
• The upper center overlay uses the same peel-and-tape approach: peel back and tape down a small section of backing on the perimeter strips so you can pull it after the part is positioned.

Ford Super Duty 2023-2025

Extra tools: Plastic pry tool

Before you start:

• Remove the plastic clips from the center of the bumper.
• Pry off the fog lamp bezels and the center plastic trim with a non-scratching tool. If a metal clip comes off its plastic tab, put it back on.

Install notes:

• Side sections first. The top edge can catch on the gasket on top of the bumper; use a trim tool to make a gap. Check the area around the fog lamps before pressing.
• Center section: peel interior backing fully; on perimeter tape peel and tape down the first inch. Place it so the edges overlap the side covers.
• If your covers have protective film, peel it back where the plastic trim will go back on.

Chevrolet Silverado 1500 2007-2013

Install notes:

• Center cover only. An included strip of blackout "gap tape" can go along the side edges of the center section where it meets the corner pieces.
• Start at either side: tuck the leading edge under the grille and butt the edge trim against the factory corner plastic. Work across, tucking the top edge lightly under the grille area.
• The lower flange goes into the seam between the bumper and the lower trim.
• Press the vertical face first and the top strip last (the tape runs the full width below and just forward of the grille).

Chevrolet Silverado 1500 2014-2015

Extra tools: Flat-head screwdriver, pliers, plastic pry tool, 10 mm socket

Before you start:

• Remove the two outermost screws and the three outermost clips at both ends of the lower valance panel.

Install notes:

• Side covers first: tuck the upper outboard edge under the bumper top cap, working all the way along; slide the bottom edge and tabs between the bumper and lower valance.
• If you have parking sensors or fog lamps, center them in their openings before pressing.
• Press from inboard to outboard for at least 30 seconds to avoid trapping air under the tape.
• Center section: tuck the top edge under the top cap and center it. The offset flanges overlap the inboard edges of the side covers and the gaps should match on both sides.

Watch for:

• If a cover will not go on with reasonable effort, a flange is hung up somewhere. Do not force it.

Chevrolet Silverado 1500 2016-2018

Extra tools: 7 mm socket / wrench / extension, plastic pry tool

Before you start:

• Remove the entire lower valance panel using the 7 mm socket.

Install notes:

• Wrap the outboard corner of a side cover around the corner flange of the bumper and rotate it into position without letting the tape touch down.
• Center parking sensors in their holes and fog lamps in their openings before pressing. Press from inboard to outboard for at least 30 seconds.
• Center section: overlaps the side covers with matching gaps at the offset flanges; check sensor holes first.
• Refit the lower valance, sandwiching the covers' lower tabs. If a screw hole has shifted, widen it carefully with a drill or round file.

Watch for:

• Do not force a cover that will not seat; find the hung-up flange.

Chevrolet Silverado 1500 2019-2021

Extra tools: T-10 Torx bit, 9/32 socket, trim tool, plastic pry tools, needle-nose pliers

Before you start:

• Remove at least four fender liner screws (T-10). Turning the wheels, or jacking up the front, makes them easier to reach.
• Bend the fender liner out and remove the first lower valance bolt; loosen the second a few turns (9/32 socket).
• Pry out the four white clips, release the two pinch clips on the back of the plastic air guide and remove the air guide. Repeat on the other side.
• Remove the plastic trim on top of the center of the bumper. The pinch clips can be reached from under the truck. The two at the very ends are difficult; if you leave them on, the trim will not come fully off but you can still finish the job.

Install notes:

• Side covers: wrap from the wheel-well corner toward the center. Slip the bottom flange (with the screw hole) between the bumper and lower valance so its clearance hole lines up with the bolt hole. Center any parking sensor.
• If the top trim is still on, pry its edge up and slide the cover's top flange underneath.
• The center cover overlaps each side cover by about 1/4 to 1/2 inch. During the dry fit, mark its position with masking tape so you can find it again with the tape exposed.
• Afterwards refit the top trim (a few firm taps seat the clips), the air guides (the white clips are tighter now), the lower valance bolts and the fender liner screws.

Chevrolet Silverado 1500 2022-2026

Extra tools: Plastic pry / trim tool

Install notes:

• Wipe on the adhesion promoter and let it dry.
• Side covers: peel back about 1/2 inch of backing near the inside edge, fold it to the front and tape it down. Remove the rest of the backing, wrap the outside edge around the back edge of the bumper, tuck the top edge under the front face, press, then pull the taped-down backing and press that area. Peel the protective film back where the center cover will overlap.
• Center cover: same method with 1/2-inch tabs on both short vertical edges and the long horizontal strips fully exposed. Tuck it under the front face, overlap both side covers evenly and line up any parking sensors with the cutouts.

GMC Sierra 1500 2014-2015

Extra tools: Flat-head screwdriver, pliers, plastic pry tool, 10 mm socket

Before you start:

• Remove the six outermost screws on both ends of the lower valance under the front bumper.

Install notes:

• Optional blackout tape along the inside edge of the bumper against the center fascia keeps chrome from showing. Cut small slits so it bends around the edge.
• Slide the inboard edge under the plastic body panel above the bumper, then keep tucking the top flange around to the wheel-well edge.
• Lower the bottom edge so sensor holes line up with the parking sensors, the inner edge sits against the fascia and no chrome shows around the fog lamp pocket. The underside tabs go between the bumper and the lower valance.

Ram 1500 2015-2018

Extra tools: Plastic pry / trim tool, 10 mm socket

Before you start:

• Remove the lower valance panel: pull all of the white clips and take out the two screws at each end of the front bumper.

Install notes:

• Wipe on the adhesion promoter, starting with the critical areas around the sensors and where the covers overlap.
• Side covers: insert the top corner under the upper body panel near the wheel well and keep tucking the top edge. Sensor holes and fog lamps must line up with the cutouts, as must the holes at the underside corner and the bumper bolts.
• Press firmly, starting with the sensor and fog lamp areas.
• Center cover: slip the top edge under the upper body panel, center it so it overlaps both side covers equally, line up the sensor holes and press.

Toyota Tundra (3rd gen) front

Extra tools: 10 mm and 12 mm sockets, 10 mm ratcheting wrench, plastic pry tools, small flat-head screwdriver

Before you start:

• Remove the fender and lower trim screws and bolts in the specified areas, then the fender liner.
• If you have parking sensors, pull the white spring clip, disconnect each sensor and push it out through the front of the bumper.
• Remove the center valance trim bolts, bottom to top. For the upper bolts you must pull the valance away from the truck; a 10 mm ratcheting wrench is recommended. Keep every nut and bolt.

Install notes:

• Clean and use the adhesion promoter only after the dry fit. If it is cooler than 68 F, warm the bumper and tape with a hair dryer or heat gun.
• Peel back the first 1 to 1.5 inches of backing on the two perimeter strips (starting at the bottom), fold it to the front and tape it. Fully remove the backing on the strip outside the fog lamp cutout, and peel back the protective film about an inch.
• Start at the edge facing the wheel well, tuck the top edge under the body panel above the bumper and work toward the center. At the inboard edge, tuck under the gap you created in the valance, using a trim tool, credit card or squeegee to hold the top edge against the back of the bumper.

Extra tools: Flat-head screwdriver, 10 mm socket / ratchet, plastic pry tool, pliers

Before you start:

• Remove the two 10 mm bolts on the underside of the bumper if your covers have holes for them. If they have slots to slide around the bolt, removal is not needed.

Install notes:

• Lift the trim / step pad at the corner just enough to slide the cover in, like a shoehorn, without stressing the flanges.
• Tuck the end toward the license plate under the center trim piece, then tuck the remaining flanges gradually. Do not use excessive force.
• Center any reverse sensors in their cutouts before pressing. If only slight contact between the tape and bumper has happened, repositioning is usually still possible.
• Snap the trim back down, replace the clips, then press all taped areas for at least 30 seconds.

Ford F-150 2024-2025 (overlay)

Extra tools: Isopropyl alcohol, clean rags, plastic pry tool

Install notes:

• Slide a trim tool between the plastic upper and chrome lower sections of the bumper to clear out rocks and dirt. The overlay needs to slide all the way into this gap, so this is an important step.
• Wipe on the adhesion promoter; peel back any protective film along the edges.
• Side sections first: interior tape fully peeled, perimeter tape peeled back one inch and taped to the rear of the part. If you have sensor cutouts, make sure the overlay is tucked under the step pad so they line up with the sensors.
• Install the center section last.

Ford Super Duty 2023-2025

Extra tools: Plastic pry tool

Install notes:

• Peel the backing off the tape near the sensor hole (if present) and near the tail end of the cover. Peel back and tape down the backing on the underside tape so it can be pulled later.
• Start at the inside edge nearest the license plate, using the trim tool to make room under the plastic trim, then slide the cover over and up. Work from the inside outward, using the tool again at each change in geometry and around the side of the bumper.
• The tape must not touch down until the overlay is positioned. This matters most with parking sensors: center the sensor hole around the sensor bezel first.
• If your covers have protective film, peel it back along the top edges before installing.
