Subject:      Just installed BusDepot mudflaps  -  a FYI
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

just finally got around to installing the set of mudflaps i got from Busdepot
that ron gets from Just Kampers   theyre the SA mudflaps i believe..   they
look great, but here is a word of advice for those installing them on
vanagons with fiberglass bumpers...  they are designed to fit on vanagons
with the metal bumpers..

i had to take a dremel and trim off the rubber section that wraps around the
wheel well lip to get them to fit on my van (i have the fiberglass bumpers
and trim) it wasnt hard to do, but you must do it to get them to fit the
fiberglass bumpered vans...  also i could not get the hardware that was
provided with them to work right, so i ended up just drilling and screwing
them to the wheel well lips with stainless sheetmetal screws which i painted
black. (i removed all 4 wheels to do this, one at a time) all in all it looks
pretty good and im pleased..   alot less expensive than the stock westfalia
style VAG style mudflaps..
