Default Mopar Splash Guard Install For 08 SRT8

These were on backorder for over a month at Mopar Supercenter and are now available. Im not sure if I like the look, but if they function Ill leave them in place. The fit and finish is pretty tight on these. You can see in the pics that the rears dont cover the tires all the way, but if they did it would be too wide and look silly. The fronts are small and tight fitting. Instructions said to drill an additional hole for the front guards, but I found it wasnt needed and didnt feel like removing the front tires. (the rest of the holes are already drilled from the factory). If I ever remove the front tires I guess Ill drill the extra holes. The rears use some help from 3M to attach to the painted part of the body. You need a special plastic rivet installer which is made by Mopar. Instead of buying a tool Ill only use once, I went to checkers and got some universal type fasteners (1/4" size pictured). If you think someone will steal your splash guards, just put some epoxy or similar on the pins and push them in. You could even cut off the head of the pin after the epoxy dries for more peace of mind. Whole thing took maybe a half hour to install. Questions? Comments?
