Has anyone installed these? The instructions are a bit lacking when it comes to the cutting part.
I'm installing the rear ones.
I'm installing the rear ones.
I installed them last week. On the rear, you remove the two bolts on the bottom side of the rear bumper cover, then you can seperate the black plastic wheel well liner from the bumper cover. If you look with a flashlight closely, you can see two sections with two scribe lines in the plastic about an inch apart. I just used side cutters to snip the plastic lines then connect them to cut out a notch. The cut doesn't have to be perfect as the mud flap will cover the cut plastic. If you don't remove the wheels you will have to use a ratchet handle with a screwdriver bit inside a 1/4" socket to have clearance. I jacked the rear of the car up for more room.
I just installed mud flaps this weekend. The rear scribe lines are on the inside surface of the wheel well liners; on the mating surface between the liner and bumper. Similar locations as the bolts holding the front mud flaps next to the wheel.
