That said, your parts may not have had molding tape on them because they were custom painted. If that's the case, get some from you local auto parts store. The part number is in my 1st post. It is applied to the surfaces of the splash guards touching the sides of the car (FRONT: behind the sharp edge that touches the fender/rocker panel, REAR: same area as front that touches the painted bumper surface), not inside the wheel wells.
As for the sharp lip, I added layers of molding tape behind the lip, so the splash guard doesn't touch the fender/rocker panel.
This help at all?

That explains it quite a bit.
It seemed funky that the sharp lip I was speaking of was even there as, at first glance, it would appear that the guards would flush better without it. That being said, there is NO tape on that portion and I will be sure to put some on it or have my local dealership do it if I decide to pay them $65 to install them. I'll stop by OReilly's on the way home and see if they got the tape. If not, I'll hit Lowes and get some. I don't mind the ones in the wheel wells, but I wasn't too keen on drilling any holes except for the ones in the wheel well.
Thanks people !!!
