I installed the molded ones from Alltec and they look great. Install was not hard just need to take your time and follow instructions.

Thanks to this post I just put a set of mud flaps from Pipedreams on my 2005 last weekend. You don't notice them at all, but boy you can see how they protect. I should have done this when I first got my car

Ed is the equivalent of a Corvette Crack Dealer. He keeps making these things I cannot resist.

Shame on you Ed

Sounds like thay are not installed correctly. You have to pull out the complete pin and base and reinstall in the guard

Ed, Thank you ! I didnt follow your instructions exactly. I had the guard in between the push pin and base of the "molly bolt", and it never clicked into place. Once I followed your instructions completely, putting the guard against the car, then pushing in the molly bolt then the push pin they all clicked in place. Thanks again.
