Installation
Front Flap Installation: The front mud flaps attach directly to the lip of the wheel well using self-tapping screws, and existing factory fasteners can be used if available. The installation is straightforward, requiring only basic tools. Allow at least 1/2" of clearance between the tire and the wheel well to accommodate the flap's thickness.
