Look pretty good. I would like to see a before and after shot of the entire back of the car if you have it.

Thanks,

>>My did not say to remove the existing arch. If I removed the existing arch they would not work. You would not have anything to mount the new arch to. Also, the ends are open and sit over the arch not flush.

Thanks for the info, re-read the instructions and pulled my head out of my rear end, just put mine on, simple installation and they look great!

Ok here are the complete back views.

Before the mudflaps are installed.



After the the mudflaps are installed.


I am trying to find the a piece of the same material to fit across the back between the mudflaps and have the tailpipe come out in the same place but through a lower piece also. A friend owns a body shop and he is checking in pieces for different cars.

I see what you mean, I can just barely see them. Have you noticed any difference in the back end dirt?

Thanks for posting the pictures.

Not yet I have not been out since I put them on and cleaned the car. While doing the work I pulled off the wheels and got rid of the 3000 miles of brake dust on the inside if the rims.

I drove 'Tigger' today. It is raining out so I did this for members who wanted to know if it reduces the dirt on the back.

Well, it does help, I do have some dirt but not the amount before adding the mudflaps. The window is clearly a lot cleaner.
