5 Axis install guide:
Tools needed:
1. Safety glasses
2. Jack and jack stands (I used 2)
3. Flat tip screw driver
4. Phillips screw driver (P3)
5. Drill and drill bit (5/32)
6. Pliers (needle nose)
7. Common sense and patience
8. 3 2-3 friends to help you hold things
Extras:
I used some extra “L” brackets. In the original instructions they weren’t mentioned but I will explain as I go along.
When your deliver arrives:
Anyone can be quite excited when the Fedex truck pulls up on your driveway but don’t forget to inspect your kit. The box it comes in is very strong if you see any damages to the box, then open and inspect the contents. If the product is damage then refuse shipment and call your Andy’s Auto sport rep. Do not get upset, all matters will be resolved.
Storing/Prepping:
When I received my kit I unpacked it and let it rest on the floor. The reason being is to let the kit snap back into shape. Even though the kit is made of urethane any prolong deformations can be permanent.
Do not let the primer or paint cure without support. The reason is if the paint cure and the front valance has a slight twist, when you straighten it you can crack the paint.
Before I took my kit to the body shop I wet sanded everything with 400 grit sand paper. I did this just to get some small nicks out and to give the primer a good key. Also when you sand make sure you go in one direction.
I told the painter to over spray on the inside. Some people just paint to the edge and call it a day. If the paint is going to chip, it will start at the edge.
Final installation:
Make sure the taping area is free of dirt, grease and wax. The dry fitting took me 2-3 hours. Final install should take half that. Make sure you take the time to dry fit and prepare.

Installing the rear valance:
Pictured below are the parts needed for this step. Notice on the “L” bracket one hole is bigger than the other. The bigger hole is for the clip that is pictured below.



The rear valance is pretty simple. Jack up the car (use the jack stands). I also removed the tires (this will be explained later). On the rear valance I cut the backing of the double stick tape. Don’t pull away the backing till you are ready to stick it on.



Now just before the muffler you will see 2 clips holding the tabs of your back bumper. Here’s what one looks like. I used a flat tip screw driver and needle noses pliers to remove this clip. Do not break the clips because we will reuse them.



1. Remove these clips. Now use the clips to attach the “L” bracket to the support.
2. Now on the rear valance you will see 2 screw holes with threads. Use the 2 screw and lock washers to screw the rear of the valance to the “L” brackets.

This is how the “L” bracket should look on the valance




Before we move on I want you to take notice of the flat edge.



3. This is your guide. This is where the double stick tape will stick to. Take the time to make sure the valance is straight!
4. Now peel back the tape from the center. Be careful once the exposed tape touches the bumper it’s pretty much stuck there. If you have a mishap, use a heating gun or hair dryer to warm up the adhesive. Always work from the center out and make sure you are straight.
5. The final step is to screw the valance in the wheel well. This is why I took my tires off. The instruction said to use the factory holes but I see didn’t any. I drilled a small hole and screwed in the valance. Don’t worry the valance have all wholes pre-drilled.

Installing the side skirts:



The side skirts are full replacements. Just remove and save your old side skirts. Do not damage the clips as we are going to reuse them. Once you take off the skirts I want you to notice this.



1. That piece needs to be cut off. If not the side skirt won’t fit flush.
2. Remove the backing of the double stick tape and carefully line up and stick the side skirt
3. Once everything is lined up, you can go ahead and screw the side skirt in both front and rear wheel wells using the factory holes.
4. Next open the door in the sill you will see 2 holes. Push the side skirt in so it can fit tighter. Now using a 5/32 drill bit, drill 2 holes. Use the long silver screw to screw down the side skirt to the car. Make sure you don’t over tighten the screws.

Now what wasn’t explained in the original instruction were the 2 holes on the bottom of the side skirt. These holes have thread and it leads me to believe this is extra support. It was by chance when I was under the car I noticed the holes on the side skirt lined up with the factory holes that held the original side skirt.
1. Toward the rear wheel, use the long “L” bracket. Use the factory clip to secure the top of the “L” bracket.
2. Now use a screw and lock washer to secure the “L” bracket to the side skirt.
3. For the front of the side skirt, there wasn’t an “L” bracket provided. I went to Home Depot and used a 1/8 inch thick sheet metal. I measured, cut and bent the sheet metal to the size I needed. I drilled 2 holes at either end. Now repeat steps 1&2.

Installing the front valance:

Parts needed:


The front is just as easy. Take notice at the outline. Again this straight edge will be your guide and will ensure your front valance will go on straight.



Before we move on, did you notice the 2 holes in front valance? This is another step not explained in the original instructions. I believe this step is optional. If you wish to do this step you can. I saw where these holes lined up on my bumper. I marked them and drilled 2 holes. Now to actually screw the front valance, you need to remove the front bumper.

1. As we did with the rear bumper cut the backing of the double stick tape. Line up the valance and take your time. Working from the middle pull the backing away and press as you go. Remember work from the middle out
2. Once that is done screw the valance in the wheel well. Again in the original instruction I didn’t see any factory holes. I drilled a pilot hole and screw down the valance. Finally we are done!
