Correct the instruction tell the story, but the tabs bend over and with Velcro they attach to the inside fender. The nice part of this material is that it's very flexible so it's easy to contour

You can also use this for the front grill and it would work out great. I used Dulpi color FM225 C2612 auto spray touch-up or just go and look at the caps at the auto store and pick out a color you like.

Will the material rust? Are there polished stainless screens or other material to go with the high polish wheels?

It's designed as a rain gutter guard (sits in the rain all day) and made of galvanized steel so it should never rust. I also like the pattern it's different

Great job, man .

very nice clean result. I still don't know how the hell you reach behind the body of the car to install them though. it can't be easy.

Default Buy Stock

I heard home depot had a run on vent screens nationally; the stock went up 2 3/8 point in 3 hours! I know I personally went out and got them, with a clear rustoloeum spray enamel to help them shine and protect them (I wanted to match my high polished wheels).

I am a bit leary about the installation, though. Seems like a fairly big job what with taking off the wheels and all.

Thanks for the template.
