    I’m not sure about everyone agreeing, but I did finally finish putting mine on. I trimmed the universal Rally Armors from my first pictures so they are a lot narrower (about the same as the other ones that are posted above).

    They keep the sides of the car a lot cleaner and I think they’ll give me the protection I need for the winter.

    Can you post pics of your final installation? How hard is it to trim? What did you use?

    Also, did you have to get new screws/bolts to install them? Or are the existing ones long enough to attach the mudflaps? I think I'm going to go this route as a winter set up.

    I don’t have any pics of them mounted but their placement is identical to the ones posted by ESA31.8T in the thread.

    As for cutting them, I used a razor blade/utility knife. I wouldn’t say they are easy to cut, but I took my time and made a matching pair in five minutes. The hardest part was getting the hole placement correct to make sure they were perfectly vertical.

    And I used the existing screws, no washers. The screws hold them very securely. I have only 500 miles on them now but don’t foresee any problems.

    Cool. Thanks for the info. One last question, how much did you have to trim off?

    I trimmed probably 1/3 or more. They are REALLY BIG to being with.
