Well I got the back ones installed yesterday and I am very pleased with the results. I did have to remove my gas cap cover, but it went back on over the fender with no problem.
I only found a couple of glitches in the instructions, nothing major. There is a slotted plastic cover in the front wheel well that you are supposed to remove and reuse later before you take off the stock fender/inner splash shield. The instructions tell you to reinstall it, but failed to warn me to take it out in the first place, so it's torn up. Probably will just stick some goop on it and replace.
Also re the side marker lights. The instructions say to install with the supplied screws, WASHERS, and nuts, but there are no washers. They are not listed in the parts list either. But it seemed to go well enough without them. Other than a couple times where the number of fasteners in a pic didn't match the text, everything else was very accurate. Certainly better than most instructions, and the pics were very helpful.
I was a little nervous about tearing into my stock fenders, but now that it is done I think these are better looking and better quality.
BTW don't bother trying to sell your stock fenders on craig's list. They will be trashed when you finish. You can salvage the old marker lights, but without the wiring.
