Bob, did you ever install the rear mudguards? Painted?

 

No Art, I bought the black ones from Ebay right after I got the car back in early 2013. A friend also has a Satin Cashmere 2012 model and installed the car color mud guards. After seeing his I liked the contrasting black more so I didn't paint them. They're still on there and still look good. I armorall them each time I wash the car so that they have a satin shine. I did install the rears and they installed easily and look perfect.

 

Did you need to drill through metal or just plastic?

did you use any sealant for the screws?

 

I drilled through the plastic bumper/rear panel to mount the mud guards. I used stainless screws and washers to eliminate rust. The installation was simple and it took me about 15 minutes for both sides. I did not have to remove the wheels.

 

Can you please post a DIY on how to install the rear and what drill size to use? Thank You very much!! Planing to install today

 

I was planning to take some photos but today in PA is teeming rain. Probably across the river too.
I'll do it when the weather clears.

 

Thanks here in jersey it was raining quite a lot to do I postponed it to tomorrow! Overall was it hard and do you need more hardware then the screws provided?

 

Just the screws and a drill. Mine have been on for almost 4 years.

 

Alright sounds easy so I put the guard in place with the bottom nut and drill the provided screws through the guards and done? Sounds easy

 

It really is a simple install. Try to use stainless screws and a stainless washer = no rust...I used a 1/8" drill. After securing the top and bottom screws I painted the screw heads with some flat black paint and they're invisible. Let us know how you make out.

Good Luck with the project!

 

Thank you very much I will attempt it today!

 

Ok so I successfully installed all 4 guards and I used a 1/8 drill bit for the back as you said worked perfectly!!

 

Nice job! Looks great and glad to help. Car is beautiful, too bad Jersey makes you put a tag on that pretty grille.

 

Yea hopefully one day it changes I wanna take the plate off as well, Thanks bro!

 

Do you know how to remove pictures from a post?
