adding OEM mudguards
 

got these for xmas...

If you have never modded before, this should be your first, as it is soooo easy - took all of 3 min per flap. The car is designed for this changeout. Under the car is one 7MM bolt that unscrews...then use your fingernails to get behind the top or bottom of the flap and pull gently...Look at how it's coming off, and put the new one on the same way...and I see many say, "why did they not put these on at the factory?" - simple - they want to sell accessories! Forget all the part numbers - email Patrick with 4 words : "Price me c7 mudgards"

Glen speaks the truth about this mod...I am the most mechanically UN-inclinded guy around and I did this myself with no problems.

thanks I'll do the same

Do these go over the 'felt'? Do you notice increased road noise? How black are they or are they more grey? Do they stand out like cheap plastic? Sry for the 21 questions.

They look and fit exactly like the standard pieces, color is identical. They just have the added "lip" for protection.

I just installed these yesterday - took all of 10 minutes total for the set if 4. You don't even have to jack the car up. A couple of notes: first, if you don't have a 7mm socket or wrench, a 9/32" will work. The two are virtually the same size. Second, in the rear there are 3 identical bolts underneath each side, 2 outboard, 1 inboard. You want the inboard bolts. The outboards hold the diffuser to the fascia.

I have not noticed any change in wind noise or fuel mileage with about 100 miles since installing them.

I'm sorry, what the heck is this?:confused:

Glen e,
This will be my first mod once the car arrives. Thanks for posting. :thumbsup:

Took delivery of my Stingray on March 4th and installed the splash guards on the 6th. Very easy mod. Thanks to Glen for posting photos showing how easy it was. :thumb:
