Did they just screw on?Quote:

Yep, they come with a fitting kit and you also use screws that are already on the vehicle. The eBay ones that I got came with the same fitting kit as the factory ones. It's just the plastic that is inferior on some of them.Quote:

Smocky, if you ever plan to come up to the coast for a trip let me know! I'myet to get mine dirty...

Dan, that's an interesting idea and the answer is maybe. I've been down and had a look in the dark. I think the D1/2 mudflap will be too small but it might work. If I get a chance over the weekend, I'll make a cardboard template of it and hold it up against the rear to test the theory.Quote:

Yes, and the kit came with the metal clip with plastic insert to fit to the wheel well lining.Quote:

Be aware there were two models, one for the older D4, and due to a change in how the side molding ended, one for the newer. Not sure if yours will be different again.
Awesome, thanks. Imma get some of them at least until I figure out what I want to do longer term. That may depend on what I do step wise.Quote:

I used thin conveyor beltand has been working well for the past 4 years. It may not look as good as oem's but does the job and does not cost and arm and a leg.

They are reversible but the sketch is my measurements taken from drivers side looking towards the back. i.e. the ruler put between the wheel and mudflap as per photo below.

I have put Sikaflex along the top edge to stop muddy water and dirt from running down the outside of the flap (between wheel arch trim and flap).
Hope that helps.
