STEP 3: Locate the 1/4” rivets (the larger of the two included in hardware kit) make sure the front four holes line up properly then using a heavy-duty 1/2” rivet gun insert and install the front 4 rivets into the existing holes.

STEP 4: (NOTE: The Installation of the rear rivets come with spacers to allow for proper clearance. To ensure the best fit with no rattle.use the spacers when securing the rear part of the front shield.)

Once the front four rivets are installed you can then use the predrilled holes in the plate as a guide to drill your holes on the vehicle.

Drill the remaining 3/16” holes. Using the spacers and longer rivets, install and check for clearance around the exhaust.
