I'm still trying to decide on the liners... it seems to me, that the liners would prevent you from cleaning all the mud, grime, etc out of the nooks and crannies behind the tire. Sure, the liners will block some of it from splashing up there, but not all of it. Around here, they salt the roads like crazy, so rust is a big concern. I'm just afraid the salt will get up behind the liners and I won't be able to clean it out. What are your thoughts on this?

Just got these shipped to my dealer and I put them on. What an unbelievable pain in the a** that was. While it isn't "necessary" to remove the rear wheels to do it, it would have helped me a lot. Also the instructions kind of sucked.
All in all it was worth it as it really cleaned up the appearance back there. They fit like a glove, an incredibly tight one! My hands look diseased as they took quite a beating. I'll get some pics up shortly.

Something I could have done had I thought about it, is use some masking tape to protect the fender flares.
The directions are lacking.

I installed mine in the garage, I didnt remove tires.
