I see many people here have added them to their cars and comments saying they are a breeze to install. My question what has to be done to install them? Do the wheel well liners need to be unbolted to get behind the bumpers? Thanks in advance.

the directions say to do so for the two front ones but i was able to barely pull back the wheel liner and slip a flathead in the space and push the clips out. the rear ones you just need to reach up underneath the car between the exhaust and fenders. i was able to do this without removing anything and with stock mufflers

i have the ones from AAC and you dont need to remove the rear fender liners but you have to remove the 3 torx nuts in the front. super easy install.

I have those and you can do it without removing those screws. Just need a long screwdriver or thin rod of some kind.

AAC's can be done in less than 20 minutes. Very easy mod.

Put mine in last week and only used a long screw driver on the front and my long arm on the rear !

Yep just did mine this past weekend. Very easy to do.

On the front you have to turn the wheel and three torx screws to remove. Once removed wheel liner comes back just enough to see where you can stick a flat head screw driver in to pop clip out. When you push on clip you can actually see the marker start to move. With a hard push it comes on out. Once out I removed the OEM light bulb from OEM marker I then removed the light bulb from the OEM wire housing. I did not want to risk scratching the paint with the marker still attached.

On the back I was able to reach my arm up underneath the car and press on the side marker tab hard enough to release it. Then did the same as the front as far as light bulb goes.

Only issue I had was some of the AAC markers were recessed a little further than expected on install. Talking with AAC about it though and trying to see about them being replaced

I'm waiting on my next paycheck but I plan on getting some from AAC. Very excited, and from what I'm hearing they are very easy to install and they look great.
