Well, Volks, I got those nice mudflaps/stoneguards installed yesterday. The trick is to pry open the spring clip first then install. Use a curved object with a handel to pull/push them into place. WHY THEY DID NOT USE THE SAME TYPE CLIP AS ON THE REAR MUDFLAPS IS WAY BEYOOND ME ! Anyways, I used liberal amounts of anti-seize on all the threaded hardware. If you didn't you'll be sorry later ! I then washed the wheel wells well ( like that one don't you ) and sprayed black, ruberized stoneguard everywhere where the clips made contact with the body. PROTECTION FROM THE RUST DEMONS ! So.......they look pretty neat now and now we'll see how long they stay in place. Cheers Frank
