What the heck are these?

Hey all - I just received my M Performance Splitter from Brian at Sun - Great DEAL! When I opened the box, I found these packages taped to the splitter along with the package of screws. For the life of me I cant figure out or find anything that says what the grey tube shaped foam material or the black serrated strips on 3M paper are for. Any ideas?

Could be wrong but I think the triangle parts are so you can peel once it's behind the bumper? Again just a shot in the dark

Did you contact your sales person? I'm sure he can send better instructions.

The grey string is called Masking String, from what I can gather.

So it's just used for masking whilst painting. Not for fitment.

So what is the black paper part for?

The cords are for masking for the painter... My friends dad says the black Is to make the gap between the splitter and the bumper blacked out if you kept the splitter black. Like it blacks out the seam between the splitter and the car. It does fit like that but the triangle parts just seem irrelevant.
