You need to remove it and make a small cut on the inside of the fender. Here are full installation instructions: http://www.omix-ada.com/instructions/17756.20.pdf

You will have to remove the curved part and cut a piece off the back that is unsean and additionally you will have to cut a small piece from the fender but everything is able to be returned to almost stock in appearance

You will drill out the spot welds then trip the finder mount with a cutting will. They have a bracket to reinstall cowl if you ever chose to remove the kit. I must say this the product was amazing and the instructions are spot on and made it very easy 2 man job.

the curve side piece is taking off 1 small cut on the inner lip of the fender and the air intake takes the place of the curve piece the one thing that I recommend and that I did was to install a piece of 3/8 hoes behind the new air intake at the windshield side to keep mud from being trapped.I'm going to give an email if someone wants a picture or to contact me because I think it hands down beats are be and can be return to stock very easily without any holes in the side of your fender. Questions ? pfistertj@AOL.com. I will send you a picture of the fender cut if you want.

You drill out the spot welds that connect the curved part to the fender. The kit comes with parts to re-install the cowl part that was removed.

I installed this on a 2011 Patriot (non-Latitude) and it did require a little trimming. The instructions where way off on the amount. The easiest thing was to remove the bumper fascia and then install the hitch. The fascia pops off with those plastic anchors and a couple of screws underneath. No need to lower exhaust, etc as stated in instructions. I had trimmed my fascia according to instruction and probably cut 3/4" more into the bumper than I needed to.

I don't remember for sure, but I think mine had a little loose 'tail' sticking out. But...you don't need that. You can just loosen a piece with your fingers and cut...it doesn't really make a difference, except that you may end up with a short piece eventually.

It has been a while since I did it... the back comes off. You might need a knife or thin screwdriver to fit into the gap, then pop it off. I don't recall any holes or tabs. There is an instruction sheet. I remember that popping it back on was a bit tricky. Strong fingers!

I do not remove mine, its very flexible, have not had any problems and I have bent it over almost 90° several times. Always returned to its form.

It shouldn't curve. It may have gotten bent. If it has only a slight bend you can try straightening it as close as you can, then installing it. The clamps should force it to sit flat.

Just the cowl piece. I have a 2003 and it fit pretty decent had to cut the rubber on the ends, but I used the clips and screwFrom my cracked cowl...

Mine was a two piece that comes together in a v shape with pivoting arms that allow the top to swing inwards to allow airflow thru. Which helps a bunch in dusty conditions when dust swirls around and comes in from the back side of fenders. And It has really helped keep the cold wind directly off the driver/passenger. I would buy again in a heartbeat due to the temperature difference while driving. (No direct wind).- Ryan

No mine uses the loop ends. That dosnt mean yours does you must remove tailpiece cover.

I expect that it could be curved, if it were a gradual curve. I have mine laying straight so I am just guessing. By the way, we have had it in place for 6 months...it's holding up really well....we'll see what happens this winter...we plan to leave it permanently in place.

I just let the end sit on top of the badge. not perfect, but not really noticeable unless your real picky . You could remove badge and grind off the corner, but it really seamed like it would be a pain I could live without.

After I installed it, I did not see any change in clearance or anything blocking the way for the spare to drop. Don't cut the second plastic guard until you test fit the guard in place. The instructions, lead you to cut off a both/screw point that did not need to be cut.

Not that it's curved, it's bowed making it difficult to install. For the 5 it took almost an hour. After installation they do look very nice. Hope this helps

I cut the seat post in two places...the hollow oblong tube and the solid gooseneck.I woud think the pedals can be changed out like any others.

You have to remove the bumper skin and the wheel-well liners, I think. Its been several years. If you search you-tube someone will have a video showing what comes off. I wouldn't say they are "easy" to remove/install but it wasn't rocket science either. I think it took me a couple hours... if you don't include the time I spent messing around with the messed up angle adjustment boss that I received.

if i remember right,there should've been a round plastic piece that fits into the round top and connects two pieces. i cut back the round top part on one piece as to cover up the splice area. a little gorilla duct tape will also hep keep the two pieces together.

No removal is needed. The new red emblem fits neatly over the original emblem. It sticks very well so I think it's there to stay.
