I cleaned the surfaces (car and guards) with isopropyl alcohol then sprayed Duplicolor Adhesion Promoter on the surfaces before applying the tape. Didn't use the provided clips. They haven't came loose and looks like they never will.

This is the exact procedure to do. I put alcohol on both side before putting it on. Adhered it 1st to the body, left the backing on the tape till I got the angle I wanted then pulled it out. Im using clips and tape on mine. Glad to hear yours are working out great Tmandoug1 |

Installed mine the other day and they look great! I used 3M tape rather than the clips. I also used adhesion promoter on the plastic to ensure the tape had a strong seal. They look great and do not look like they will come loose at all. Thank you for making these oneslow!

I made my own from flat truck/van rock guards I got at Advance Auto for $7.00. Trimmed them out similar to the ones in front of the front wheel and used existing screws. Added one near the top to hold it in place.

I purchased some of the guards from ********** also. I think they are a perfect compromise between protection and how far they stick out (I'm not going for the rally car look). Instructions were included but it's a pretty straight forward mod. I also used the 3M molding tape, cleaned surfaces with rubbing alcohol and everything sticks great. I ended up using the retainer clips anyways as insurance, but when I had just the 3M tape it held very firm. I feel much better now knowing that I am NOT sandblasting the sides of my car anymore.
This is definitely the way to go if you don't want to spend over $100 for a $7 part that has been cut up, but you also may be lazy (like me) and don't want to spend the time measuring, shaping, cutting, and drilling. I chose to go the ~$50 route, which is my limit between buying a finished product and doing it myself. I honestly do not know why anyone would spend over $100 with this option available to them. I bought the 3M tape from Walmart in the automotive section. I checked with the local Target and Home Depot first, but they did not have it. |

Glad you like them. They are reasonably priced for what they are. There are others that are a lot more expensive for a similar product.

What are you guys using for the rear tires as far as splash guards? I have more stone chips at the rear than on the gill area.

You can purchase the ZL1 rears from the dealer from my understanding. I believe they are a direct bolt in.
