Any DIY for splash guard install?

I want to buy the splash guard for my coupe, but is there a install guide? I like to do it myself if there is one available. Thanks.

I think, There's 1 screw or plastic clip, along with double sided tape.

^^ what he said....

it will come with a stencil to drill the holes in the right place. I was able to install mine without removing the wheels.

Is drilling required for the front ones also or is that just for the rears? Good to hear that I don't have to remove the wheels. Thanks.

Im not really sure about drilling but I did replace mine due damage and they were pretty easy, the front ones were 2 screws (no tape). The rear ones were pre-taped from the factory so all you had to do was slap them on. Word of advice though for the rears, you must ensure that the bottom part of the rear mud guard aligns to the factory holes on your rear bumper and that it sits flush against the bumper with no gaps. Its pretty self-explanatory once you get the guards..

hey if your unsure, have the dealer do it then

some pics i dug up for reference..I replaced them due to the obvious fresh street yellow paint damage..my car was 2 days into its fresh detail I had performed on it, I was very very angry and upset, however all that wax/sealant made it a breeze to take off my car so no paint damage at all on the car, only the mud guards were replaced..

Wow, that sucks! I guess the splash guard did its job on protecting the paint. I just ordered the guards $66 for the rears and $72 for the fronts. I honestly feel better doing it myself rather then letting the dealer do it. Thanks for posting the pics.

Where did you order them from? I'd like to know where to get them as well.

Hey guys, I have a DIY video for splash guard install on a 1st gen coupe. I think the 2nd gen should be the same.

^^It should be exactly the same. You can do the fronts without removing the wheels but I had to take my rears off.

you will need to drill some holes for the front and the rears.... they come with complete instructions. It is possible to do it without removing the wheels, even on the rear, if you have a long drill bit or bit extension.

To drill the fronts you will have to jack the car up a little, even if you have a rt angle drill.

I think you can. It shouldn't be that hard cuz the guards should line up perfectly with your car
