    yep thanks its a good price for them and they will def work. If its nice on Saturday I'll drill some new holes and move the rear ones a little more in. I just gotta be careful b/c I'm drilling into the fiberglass on the lip kit. I'll use the washers as well like you suggested.

    yeah they are similar to the material of the mudflaps that I had on there already. So yup scraping will be heard

    I threw a set of Rally Armors on the Civic this winter and I wish I had done it earlier.... The are amazing, I have been in snow up to the bottom of the doors and have gone thru slush at like 45 mph and they keep everything off the paint and never moved or bent...

    The only time I scrape them is if there is weight in my car and crossing the 2 large speedbumps in my apt. complex, other than that no, but this is the universal kit so you can put them in anyway you want. I used the stock mudflap locations and a few bolts with some colorful words during install

    LOL, my stock mudflaps where held in place with 5 screws. I removed the screws and the mounts behind them and used nuts and bolts for a more secure fit and working on my car requires hands the size of a baby..... I had to reach behind the fender well to get the lock washer and nut on and then with a wrench hold the nut in place while I tightened the bolt. This is just the fronts.

    The rears require custom mounts which I haven't done yet.....LOL

    doesnt sound like fun at all lol. I go out thinking its going to take 1 hour to install them and it takes twice as long because of something stupid. ie: the extension cord for the drill isnt long enough
