Was easy, I only had to pull the splash trim out a little to install the screw tabs.

Less crap on the rear!!

Wow ianparcher! Putting the rears on the front for better protection is a great idea, AND you made it work. Cool.

One more thing, since we have just recieved around 4 inches of rain in the past couple days, I have to say that the guards DEFINATELY cut down the amount of rain/dirt that collects on the back of the car. I have noticed this especially on the back window. I don't have to sweep the rear wiper as much! There really IS a difference in the amount that collects on the rear. No B.S.!

If you're still debating on getting the splash guards, this info might help!

I will try to post pics soon, as I have to figure out how to. Thanks to all who have replied to my original post. Mud flaps CAN be cool. Cheers!
