Has anybody bought and installed OEM splashguards?
I am picking up my oem splash guards today and I am attempting to install them myself. I am told its easy, but I have absolutely no experience in installing parts. Has anybody here done this, or have a DIY?
Thanks
Thanks

I purchased the OEM splash guards and installed them myself. Not too difficult. I used some blue painter's tape to hold the "hole drilling templates" in place.
You need to turn the front wheels to allow you to drill a couple of holes to mount the front splash guards. You need to remove each rear wheel to allow enough space to drill a couple holes for each rear splash guard.
The only "tricky" part was making sure you push enough on the rear splash guards to make sure you align them correctly when you remove the double sided tape covering to stick the rear portion of the rear splash guards to the rear bumper.

yeah I wish they did. I wanted them and the spoiler, but this was all the had on the lot. You would think for 40k they would have 200.00 splash guards.
the car looks complete now. IMO
