Installation should only be performed by a qualified mechanic experienced in the installation of a Mustang Dual Exhaust System. 3dCarbon is not responsible for any incorrect exhaust modifications.
CAUTION!!!! IF A HEATED SPRAY BOOTH IS USED FOR BAKING THE PRIMER OR PAINT, DO NOT BAKE OR CURE GREATER THAN 120 F DEGREES FARENHEIT. THE PARTS CAN BE DISTORTED AND PERMANENTLY DAMAGED. NOTE: These step by step installation instructions are for after the kit is painted. Please see the Prepping and Painting Instructions prior to prepping the parts for paint. PREPPING THE KIT PRIOR TO PAINT The first step is to inspect the parts to make sure you have the correct parts. Refer to the part numbers on the back of the parts to confirm the Year Make Model. Parts that are prepped and painted cannot be returned or exchanged. Using lacquer thinner and a clean cloth clean the tape flange surface on the back of each part where the double sided tape will be applied. Using 1 masking tape, apply the tape 1/8 below the top edge of the part. This will protect the tape flange from getting contaminated during the prepping and painting process. Refer to Prepping and Painting Instructions for Step by Step procedures. APPLYING THE 3M TAPE TO THE KIT After the kit has been prepped and painted, the double face tape should be applied to the parts. The tape is not pre-installed on parts prior to shipping because the tape can be contaminated during the sanding/ priming and painting process. The first step is to clean the tape flange on the back of the parts where the tape will be applied. Make sure the complete tape flange is clean and free of all primer and paint. Using lacquer thinner on a clean rag, thoroughly clean the tape flanges on all parts of the kit. Using the adhesion promoter bottle with felt tip supplied, apply it to the tape flanges be careful not press too hard causing too much to be applied. The adhesion promoter will leave a thin clear polymer primer film that will increase the bonding strength of the double face tape. The tape should be applied 1/8 down from the top edge of the part so that it cannot be seen after the kit is installed. The tape is to be applied from the wheel well to the center. Press the tape firmly to the surface to insure good adhesion. Repeat the cleaning and adhesion promoter steps on all parts of the kit.
INSTALLING THE FRONT AIR DAM 12 #8 X ¾ SELF DRILLING SCREWS 7 FEET 3M DOUBLE FACE TAPE 2 BLACK X-MAS TREE FASTENERS Step 1) Place the air dam on the front factory bumper and check the fit. The front center section should fit flush inside the opening on the bumper. The top edge of the air dam should parallel the body line on the factory bumper. Using image #2 as a reference, align the front air dam 4 ½ down from the body line of the corner of the factory front bumper nearest to each wheel well. (See Image #2). Repeat the measurement on the opposite side and mark these points with a grease pencil for use as reference in final installation. IMAGE #1 Using image #3 as a reference, measure 4 3/8 from the factory front bumper s body line to the factory front bumper s inner corner. (See Image #3) Repeat the measurement on the opposite side and mark these points with a grease pencil for use as reference in final installation. Also using the grease pencil, draw a line along the new front air dam on the factory front bumper for use as reference during final installation. IMAGE #2 Step 2) Remove the part from the car. Using Lacquer Thinner on a clean lint free cloth wipe the paint surface where the tape will attach. Be careful not to remove the grease pencil marks. Using the adhesion promoter supplied, apply the adhesion promoter to the paint surface where the tape will attach. IMAGE #3
Step 3) Peel back a small piece of the red plastic backing from the tape making a tail that can be pulled when the air dam is installed. Refer to Image #4. Place the air dam on the car, positioning it using the grease pencil marks previously made as a reference. Starting with the center section pull the red backing tail and press the air dam to the paint surface to insure good adhesion of the double face tape. Step 4) Using the supplied (# 8 x ¾ ) self taping screws secure the air dam in the wheel wells through the predrilled holes in the air dam (2) Screws in each wheel well. IMAGE #4 Step 5) Remove the (2) 7mm screws that secures the black plastic air deflector. Secure the bracket to the air dam through the pre-drilled hole with the #8 x ¾ Self Tapping Screws provided then secure the other end of the bracket with the previously removed 7mm screws. INSTALLING THE SIDE SKIRTS 4 #8 X ¾ SELF DRILLING SCREWS 14 FEET 3M DOUBLE FACE TAPE 8 BLACK X-MAS TREE FASTENERS 8 PVC PLASTIC SPACING TUBES Step 1) Using a clip removal tool, remove the two plastic clips on each side skirt that secure the factory side skirts in the front wheel wells. Save these for reinstallation of the new side skirts. Step 2) Using a clip removal tool, remove the clips that secure the factory side skirts on the bottom of the car. Pull the side skirt off the car. Remove any of the clips that stay on the car. IMAGE #5 Step 3) Check fit of the new side skirt on the car. After the fit is confirmed, using a grease pencil draw a line along the top of the part for reference during the final installation. Step 4) Remove the part from the car and using Lacquer Thinner, on a clean lint free cloth, wipe the paint surface where the tape will attach. Be careful not to remove the grease pencil marks. Using the adhesion promoter packages supplied, apply the adhesion promoter to the paint surface where the tape will attach. Be careful not to remove the grease pencil marks during the application. IMAGE #6
Step 5) Peel back a small piece of the red plastic backing from the tape making a tail that can be pulled when the side skirt is installed. (See Images #5-6) Step 6) Place the side skirt on the car, positioning it using the grease pencil marks as a reference. Starting with either end, pull the red backing tail and press the side skirt- tape to the paint surface at the same time. Step 7) Using the supplied #8 x ¾ self tapping screws supplied, secure the side skirt in the wheel wells through the pre-drilled holes in the rear of the side skirt. Using the factory clips removed from the original side skirts, secure the front of the side skirt through the pre-drilled holes. IMAGE #7 Step 8) Place the spacers between the side skirt (4) each side and the bottom of the car. Push the Christmas tree fastener through the pre-drilled holes in the side skirt and through the spacers and finally into the original holes in the bottom of the car.

Modification of Exhaust Step 1) V6 Mustang exhaust system must be modified for a dual exhaust. 3dCarbon does not provide steps for this installation. Installation of the exhaust system should only be performed by a qualified mechanic experienced in the installation of the V6 Mustang dual exhaust system. 3dCarbon is not responsible for any incorrect exhaust modifications.
Part 2. Cut Out Area on Vehicle s Rear Lower Using Template Step 1) Place the enclosed template on the vehicle. Follow the directions on the template for proper alignment to correctly cut the vehicle s rear lower. (See Image #8) IMAGE #8 Step 2) Once the template has been properly aligned and the striped areas have been cut out from the template, use a grease pencil to trace the area where cutting will occur. NOTE: Do not include the reference alignment box when marking your cut-out area. (See Image #9) IMAGE #9 IMAGE #10 Step 3) Using an air saw, cut the area out from the rear lower using the grease pencil marks made in Step #2 as a reference. (See Images #10-12) IMAGE #11 IMAGE #12 Part 3. Installation of 3dCarbon Rear Lower Step 1) Place the rear lower on the front factory bumper and check the fit. Use the license plate opening as a reference for positioning the rear lower correctly from right to left. Using a grease pencil, draw a line around the top edge of the part so that you have a reference to line the part up during the final installation. (See Images #13-14) IMAGE #13 IMAGE #14
Step 2) Remove the part from the car and using Lacquer thinner on a clean lint-free cloth, wipe the paint surface where the tape will attach. Be careful not to remove the grease pencil marks. Using the adhesion promoter supplied, apply the adhesion promoter to the paint surface where the tape will attach. IMAGE #15 Step 3) Peel back a small piece of the red plastic backing from the tape, making a tail that can be pulled when the rear lower is installed. (See Images #15-17). Place the rear lower back on the car positioning it suing the grease pencil marks as a reference. Starting with the center, pull the red backing tail and press the rear lower tape to the paint surface at the same time.
