Cell phone pics from when I got home from driving it to work this past Friday. Wish I could get the front slightly lower.

Thank you sir. I wouldn't say that at all. Lol. I also wouldn't say they are hard to do, but just pretty time consuming. They require a decent amount of trimming and altercation. Just go slow and don't rush it. Always easy to take more material off, but not so easy to put material back on once you've gone too far. Before I did mine, I read threads where people said they had several hours in doing theirs. I figured I'm pretty good at stuff like this so it won't be that bad...wrong! I'm pretty **** and picky too so I tried to not have any gaps which at the time seemed almost impossible. Lol. Good luck on installing yours. Hit me up if you have any questions.

Thanks for sharing that info man, appreciate it. If you had taken any pics or can pm me the guide or walk through you were following for yours, that'd be great. Also, this can be done with the fenders installed on the car right?

No problem man. I don't really have any pics of the process on mine, but here is the thread I read through before I bought them and before installing them. It helped just to get a visual but really it just takes putting the splash guard up there, seeing how it fits, trimming some and then repeating these steps about 150 times. Yes, definitely leave the fenders on. Hope this helps.
