Renegade Motorsports S2000 Boot Delete:
(1) Carbon fiber S2000 boot delete bezel
Tools/Supplies Required:
- Epoxy (or similar)
- Phillips screw driver
Difficulty: 4/10
Completion Time: ~1 hour
TIP: The biggest challenge is that the OEM shroud has a slight convex curve to it, whereas the carbon bezel is flat. We have designed the bezel to the correct thickness allowing for some flexibility while remaining rigid.
AP2 - firmly push past the small plastic nubs to seat the bezel flush. It is essential to tack/epoxy corners one edge at a time to ensure flush/proper fitment (picture for reference in future steps below); the narrow edge of the OEM bezel makes tolerances very tight. Patience and taking the proper time ensures a clean install, otherwise gaps and fit/finish will be compromised.
When using epoxy (or similar), ensure that the application layer is thin, otherwise the OEM bezel will not reinstall flush to the console.
*Reference our short shift kit install guide on how to remove the OEM console if necessary.
1. Place the carbon bezel into position. (AP2 guys, the orientation is opposite of pictured). While holding in place, flip the whole bezel over to the opposite top side to identify the position/placement that ensures there are no gaps.
2. The corners and edges should sit tight/flush as pictured here. If you see gaps, reposition the bezel until the optimum placement is found.
3. The yellow arrows identify where to epoxy. The numbered areas identify the order in which it should be secured. Once you have epoxied one area, ensure that it fully dries/cures before moving to the next. Holding the bezel in place while this occurs is necessary.
4. Once the four corners have been secured, the teal arrows identifies where to epoxy next. Follow the numbers to identify the order, repeating the step above.
5. Epoxy curing times vary. Ensure the proper time has elapsed before reinstalling the bezel back to the OEM console.
6. Your final product should look like this. Reinstall your OEM console back in reverse order.

Renegade Motorsports TI E-Brake Button:
(1) Titanium E-brake button
Tools/Supplies Required:
-Pliers (or similar)
-Microfiber cloth (optional)
Difficulty: 2/10
Completion Time: 10 minutes
TIP: If attempting to save OEM brake button for future use, add several layers of microfiber cloth to the button while removing.
1. A look at parts, tools, supplies necessary for installation.
2. It is easiest to do the install from the passenger side of the brake lever where the shift knob doesn't impede your pliers during removal.
3. This is where you cover the button with the microfiber cloth if you are trying to preserve the OEM button. Get a firm grip on the OEM brake button with your pliers and turn counter clockwise. The button is seated deep, so keep loosening it all the way until you can remove with just your fingers.
4. Once you have the button removed it will look like this.
5. Align your Renegade Titanium E-brake button to the receiver rod and tighten by turning clockwise. The button needs to only be firmly tightened by hand, no pliers necessary. This completes your install.

Renegade Motorsports Engine Covers:
(1) Driver master cylinder cover panel
(1) Passenger battery cover panel
(set) Brackets/hardware
Tools/Supplies Required:
-10MM socket/wrench
-12MM socket/wrench
-Allen key
-Power drill
-7/32 drill bit
-Masking tape
-Silver Sharpie pen (or similar)
Difficulty: 4/10
Completion Time: ~1 hour
*WARNING* Do not attempt to install until the car has cooled completely. The header may be hot to the touch and can cause severe burns.
TIP: Finger tighten all nuts/bolts/screws first, prior to fully tightening any one in order to allow for adjustments. It will be necessary to adjust further after the cover panel is positioned to ensure flush and proper fitment. Once the final position is achieved, tighten further as appropriate.
1. We recommend that you lay out the panels and brackets as pictured to get familiar with where each piece will be installed. The following steps will refer to this image as a key for part names.
2. We start with the master cylinder side. You will loosen this 12MM nut just enough so that you can slide in the master cylinder bracket. Repeat this step with the second bolt on the other side.
3. Slide in the master cylinder bracket, then finger tighten both nuts allowing for height adjustment. The orientation is as pictured.
4. Remove the middle fender bolt. Slide in the middle fender bracket as pictured. Reinstall the OEM bolt to hold the bracket in place. Finger tighten to allow for final adjustments.
5. Locate this frame rail hole. This will be the location for the frame rail bracket. Install the bracket in the orientation as pictured.
6. Place the master cylinder cover panel on top of the brackets. Align the brackets to the holes and finger tighten the Allen screws. At this stage, ensure the alignment is proper by adjusting bracket height and left to right panel fitment. Once the proper fitment is achieved, tighten down all hardware. This completes the driver's side panel.
7. We move on to the passenger side battery cover panel. You will reuse the 10MM OEM bolt that is holding in the washer fluid bottle. Remove the bolt and install the single hardware bracket here. Leave slightly loose for final adjustment.
8. The location for the U-nut can be seen in the picture below.
9. At this step, we recommend putting masking tape around the oval and circular hole to prevent scratching. Notice the orientation and angle of the U-nut. Once you have it set like this, give it a firm push and it will pop into place. The circular holes need to be aligned in order to allow for the Allen screw to be installed.
10. Test fit the Allen screw to ensure this bolt can be threaded through. This will help confirm proper alignment.
11. Install the U-nut bracket. Leave the Allen screw loose for final adjustment.
12. Attach the heat shield brackets to the passenger side panel loosely. Lay the panel in place; this will help determine where to mark and drill the holes on the OEM heat shield. Once you have aligned everything, mark the hole and drill. Then attach the heat shield bracket to the OEM heat shield as pictured.
13. Repeat step 12 for the back heat shield bracket.
14. Place the passenger battery cover panel on top of the brackets. Align the brackets to the holes and finger tighten the Allen screws. At this stage, ensure alignment is proper by adjusting bracket height and left to right panel fitment. Once the proper fitment is achieved, tighten down all hardware. This completes the passenger side battery panel.

1. Pull the parking brake up as high as possible (this will help ease the center console on and off during installation). Put the shifter into neutral. Remove the shift knob.
2. Carefully pull up on the upper right corner of the center console until it snaps out of place. Repeat the process on the upper left corner of the center console.
*Image depicts leather boot, rubber boot, and white shift ring already removed.
3. Carefully pull up on the bottom right corner of the center console until it snaps out of place. Repeat the process on the bottom left corner of the center console.
4. At this point, once the primary connecting spots have been detached, slide the center console up and over the shifter and parking brake. Unplug the roof, defrost, and hazard buttons (in accordance with your model year), and remove the center console.
Tip: Putting the shifter into different gears when needed will increase access to tabs/bolts.
5. Use a flat-head screwdriver to carefully wedge the white shift boot ring outwards (from the inner side of the ring), while pulling up on the accordion shift boot. You will see four tabs, which are at approximately 2, 4, 8 and 10 o'clock. Pry these tabs loose.
