says "Please note that the Syncro 16 wheel arches require
extensive modification of the fender openings on a non-
Syncro 16 models."
So wouldn't the Tri-Star Arches fit easier - ie:
no "extensive modification" of the fender opening? What is
the minor trimming? Do these come with instructions?
Thanks,
Chris
