Well here's 2 pictures not sure im happy with the passenger side front.
Grrrrrr biggest pain was cutting that screen spline for me & keeping it on the gutter guard. Might have to tinker with it tomorrow.






One more picture just for kicks ~

FYI, Instead of using the screen spline I used 7/64" rubber tubing from Advance Auto for the piping. Easier to work with and cut. Just my .02

So they screens that you made stay in with only that rubber seal/tube.
No tape or velcro to hold them in?

They look good to me and like me for ten bucks you can't go wrong. As people who say they ain't the real ones they aren't standard or optional equipment on coupes or verts so I say...........wtf save the money.
