Default Install Hints for RaceMesh Inserts

Just received my 8 piece RaceMesh insert set. Does anyone have some install hints they can share? Looks like all are RTV'd in place except for the fog lights and brake ducts. Just needing some experienced direction.

I dont know where you purchased the kit but go to CCA's website he has install instructions for these that seem very easy to follow, plus if you go to his site you will probably find something else you need???

For the brake ducts a good trick is to take four zip ties, one in each corner of the insert, place the screen in the duct flat, then pull the two bottom ties forward until the screen is at the bottom edge of the duct. Now, pull the two top zip ties up and bring the screen forward until it is at the top front edge of the duct. They should now be nice and flat, with little fuss. Once, you get the screen in, you will see what it is I am explaining. Sorry, no pics for ya.
