[QUOTE="Creedence85, post: 169244, member: 4346"] I recently installed splash guards front and rear on my 2005, GM part: 19170234. I got mine on Ebay, but you can get them from GM or any number of suppliers. The set comes with 2 front splash guards, 2 rear splash guards, push pin clips, and alcohol wipes for cleaning the mounting surfaces. Additional tools needed: [LIST] [*]Cleaner and towel of your choice for cleaning inside the wheel well. [*]Clip pull tool. I don't have one so I used a tack pull tool. A flat blade screwdriver also works. [*]Drill and 15/16" drill bit. [*]Jack, etc. for jacking the rear of the car and removing rear wheels. [/LIST] [ATTACH type="full" alt="28775"]28775[/ATTACH] The front is pretty simple, as the splash guards attach to the fender liner clip holes. Turn the wheel to access the inside of the fender, remove the 4x push pin clips, and clean the mounting surface. A clip pull tool or tack lifter really helps with this, but can probably manage with a small flat blade screwdriver. [ATTACH type="full" alt="28776"]28776[/ATTACH] [I]Yes, my front tires were manufactured on the 12th week of 2011... The rears are 2010, ahh! They still feel good on turn in, seem to work well in the rain, and the rears will hold all of 1st gear from a slow roll when warmed up. [/I] I then cleaned the surface of the car and the splash guard with the supplied alcohol wipes. Loose fit the splash guard with the pins out. [ATTACH type="full" alt="28777"]28777[/ATTACH] Once you get it positioned, remove the tape guard, and press the edge along the body, then press in the push pins.
