Apsis Splash Guard Install plus Mods!!
Spent the rainy day in garage,weather got up to 60.Finally time to make mine unique to me.
Make sure you hold tight to fender when drilling hole,use a 3/32 drill.
Driver side seemed to fit better at top...
Cluttered garage pics.
Next mod exhaust plate,what a pain in the butt,a real knuckle buster fitting that sucker up in there,tip..use a slim 1/2" open end wrench you can only get about a 1/4 turn at a time...
Brake light decal...
Stainless bumper lettering...
Headlight decals...
Graphite vinyl dash lettering,not sure if I like this,maybe it will look better in the daylight. lol
All in all I spent 7 hours in the garage,smoked 2 big stogies too.

Nope just lay your my back wiggle under,loosen the 1/2" muffler hanger bolts then try to figure how the hell your going to fit that thing up in there.lol push and wiggle,same time pushing muffler outward with my forearm,it will fit,get the right slotted end in first between L bracket and frame,then wiggle the top slotted end ALL the way up,bottom edge of the bracket should be just above car frame.Open end wrench fits between the hanger,like I said about a 1/4 turn at a time is all you will get.Be patient,took me over an hour.

Excellent use of one's time. Great Mods and photo's. I noticed the work bench could use a little clean-up. Just kidding. Nice work.

Some have had some rubbing issues. Might want to put some protection underneath?
