SALEEN RECOMMENDS HIRING A PROFESSIONAL PAINTER WHO IS FAMILIAR WITH TPO PLASTIC, AND THAT YOU PAINT THE BODY KIT BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY SUBASSEMBLY. IF YOU CHOOSE TO PAINT BODY PIECES BEFORE DOING SUBASSEMBLY OPERATIONS, LAY THE PAINTED PARTS ON A SOFT CLOTH DURING SUBASSEMBLY. IF YOU PAINT THE PIECES AFTER SUBASSEMBLY OPERATIONS, BE CAREFUL NOT TO SPRAY THE UNDERSIDE OF THE PARTS, ESPECIALLY WHERE TAPE IS USED; SPRAYING THE TAPE MAY DAMAGE THE BOND TO THE BODY PIECE, WHICH MAY CAUSE THE BODY KIT TO FALL OFF THE CAR A SHORT TIME AFTER INSTALLATION.

Order of Operations:

1. Using a hack saw, cut off the bottom of the turn signal ¼” below the hole indicated in Figure 1. Note the cut line shown in Figure 1.

2. Tape the top of the turn signal (00-1202-C09763*) into place with masking tape in the orientation shown in Figure 2 (passenger light shown). The turn signals are directional, so put the light for the driver’s side on the driver side; the surface of the turn signal must be flush with the contour of the fascia. (Figure 3).

3. Insert long spacer (06-1101-C11532A) on the inboard side and the short spacer (06-1101-C11533A) on the outboard side of the turn signal. The spacers go over the long screws (00-9001-C11463* and 00-9001-C11462*) (Figure 4).

4. Insert two screws (one of each length) into the two upper holes in the mini turn signal and tighten to the fascia. Be sure you hand-tighten the screws to a snug fit and DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN; you should have a 1/8” gap from the tip of the screw to the backside of the fascia when screws are fully tightened.
