I meant masking tape, just to make sure it sticks well on and dry before removing the masking tape off. It also comes with instructions.

I just installed my bumper applique using the included instructions with a couple of modifications suggested by the dealer tech.

#1. Instead of completely removing the center guide strip from the adhesive, I shifted it 1/4" to expose a smaller patch. This way if you need to make adjustments only a small patch needs to be peeled off the bumper.

#2. I used masking tape on the bumper and marked it with felt-tip pen. This way you don't actually write on the bumper in case you use the wrong pen. Obviously, remove the masking tape before the applique goes over it.
