crazybeasty · 04-02-2010, 06:26 PM

Hey guys i just got my cf fang from 370z source and it looks pretty simple to install just remove the tape protector and stick it on right? well thats what i was hoping for b4 i install it i was wondering is there any preparation needed to be done to ur fang b4 putting on the fang, like rub it with alcohol or sumthing, also i was wondering is there a special way to put it on like right to left or bottom to top?

You should first check to see if it fits or if you need to cut some of the cf off. If it's a tight fit it may scratch up your paint, you can try covering some parts with painters tape.

If it's a tight fit you may not be able to use too much tape. I used two pieces of tape 1/2 inch long but mine is a real tight fit. If you need to take off Tape residue use goo gone.

Just put it on gentally if it doesn't fit give it a firm tug and the tape won't be fully seated and you can remove it and re adjust or what ever then just apply new tape and clean with some degreaser before u Put it down for good
