With the weather warming up, I'm getting her ready for the season and installing a bunch of parts that have been sitting in the basement for a few months.
I started to throw on the radiator guards, and figured I'd tackle the side ones first since it doesn't require jacking the car up. Warmed them up with a heat gun to make them a bit more pliable, and then worked them around.
Let me tell you, what a pain in the ass. Youtube makes this look easy, but FML, it took me about 10 tries to get them to fit to my liking. All said and done, I think they will do the job well, but there was a bit of cursing during this install.
For others doing this - take your time, be patient, heating them up helps for sure, and use a pull tool of some sort on the bottom 1/4 once you have it in position otherwise you will never get them to fit snug.
