Removal of Stock Alternator Cover

Park your car in a flat level area and allow it to cool down.
Using your 10mm socket, remove the bolt from the alternator cover.
Pull the alternator cover up until the insert on the right pops out of the grommet.
Once the alternator cover is out, remove the stock grommet.

Installation of COBB Alternator Cover

To start out, place a 6mm nylon washer on the 76mm button head cap screw before inserting the screw into the passenger's side mounting slot (Left side if looking at the engine bay). Then slide the longer spacer over the screw from the back side.
Now go ahead and screw that into place on the passenger's side bracket but leave it somewhat loose.
Take the 6mm nylon washer and place it on the 60mm button head cap screw. Insert the screw into the driver's side of the bracket then add one of the 6mm flat washers along with the shorter spacer onto the screw.
Place the assembly down on the right hand side and from underneath add a flat washer, lock washer and the provided nut.
While trying to keep the cover straight, slowly tighten it up on each end until it is secure and rigid. Over-tightening may cause chipping so just go until it is snug.
Once the bolts are tightened down you're good to go! Go out and enjoy!
