1.
Put some of the press-on bulb seal around the outside edge of the aluminum front splash guards (they
look like large elephant ears).
2. Use the tin snips to cut the length and a pair of pliers to squeeze the bulb so that it will grip the
aluminum.
3. Hold the splashguards up against the rear bent lip of the engine bay “F” aluminum. Overlap the two
lips.
4. Mark where the bottom of the splashguards needs to be bent in order to go into the rear fender area.
5. Bend the bottom edge of the splashguards.
6. Apply silicone to the bent lip on the F-shaped aluminum panel where it will meet the splashguards.
7. Attach each side to the F-shaped aluminum pieces with #8 self-tapping screw.
8. Put a wheel and tire on the car and check for aluminum clearance. If necessary push the aluminum in
and mark the inside of the body at the outer edge of the splashguards.
9. Drill and rivet the Splash Guards to the “F” pieces using ⅛ ” rivets.
10. Attach the Splash Guards to the body just forward of the exhaust cut-outs. Use the tab that you bent
up and the almost horizontal flat area on the body. Drill and use
⅛ ” long rivet or a
3
/
16
” long rivet.
11. Silicone around the splashguard from the exhaust side.
Rear Wheel Splash Guards
1. Push press-on trim onto the rear splashguards and hold in place in the wheel well. The small tab on
the bottom faces towards the rear of the car and is on the bottom. The bent edge should be vertical
and aligned with the trunk side pieces where they drop down, behind the quad shock mounts. It
should also be on top of the ¾” vertical tube that is behind the trunk wall.
2. Remove the panel and silicone where it will contact the trunk side.
3. Drill and rivet the panel in place using ⅛ ” drill bit and ⅛ ” long rivets.
