I have them and they just have one bolt on the bottom. Remove the one bolt and yank the old ones off. There are 3 or 4 snap in clips. Then snap the new ones in place and replace the one bolt. I installed all 4 in 10 minutes. I will post some photos when I get home.

They don't stick out much but maybe don't need to. I am disappointed the fronts are not a little longer. Can someone post or email me a picture of the bottom of the front guard before they put it on? A flexible rubber extension might help. Side skirts may be the way to go. Aftermarket, opportunity is knocking.

They cover the exact same surface area as the stock ones. They sit about 1/8" from the bottom of the fender and rear bumper edge. The stick out about an inch and IMO, that is all you need to keep rocks from hitting the doors, rockers and rear bumper.

It looks like they are at least flush with the bottom, maybe slightly lower. In order to protect I think they should be a least 1.5" below or more. Of course to fully protect they would have to nearly drag on the ground. flaps on the ground, flaps on the ground, you look like a fool with your flaps on the ground I guess I will put on clear film. Glen, did you notice a difference in the amount of stones that stuck to or original tires vs the new set?

we must be neighbors at home and the shore! Carfagno is closest to my house, but I will use Bryner cause they are near my office, home of DelVal Corvette Club and they service my 1982 Z28 Pace Car. Are you in Ventnor or Margate?
