I've got a set for front & rear, yet to be installed. They are made of
relatively thin and flexible plastic, not sure how these will be
installed, definitely not "snap-in". Seem similar to the fender liners
on my 2003 Jetta. There are different shapes front vs rear; when
installed, will take photos. These should help with stone & debris
affecting the gas tank hoses, and wheelwell (for 2wd).

I was hoping that when they said “snap In” they really did without drilling and such. I’m not sure how I expected that to work but why not, my rain and wind deflectors just fit in with no special attachments.
