My RPI Stealth install instructions for my 2014 RS
I recently purchased the RPI Stealth Splash Guards and I must say after completing the install *without any instructions from RPI* i must say they do look good. I was however not at all satisfied with they way they arrived *NO INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS (NOT EVEN ON THEIR WEBSITE), SCRATCHED, AND POORLY EXECUTED HARDWARE). For $50 dollars I would have expected a far better quality product. Here are my install instructions and what I did to make them satisfactory to me. Questions and comments are welcome.

Thats all folks. Hope this is helpful to someone who purchased these and are having install issues. I think all said and done I will likely purchase the ZL1 rear splash guards. I am not sure how long the rears will hold up. I may cut that plastic L bracket and add some 3M tape to help secure the rears.

These were a nightmare to install.
Ditto on trimming the crappy pieces of plastic tubing, and having to cut down the ridiculously long screws. When installed properly, they do their job pretty well (better than I expected). So at least there's that. |

Did you just buy the fronts?
I bought front and rear and the fronts fit great with no modifications and I used my factory screws, the rears however required a zip tie and a hole to be drilled in the wheel well
