Looks really good! Take some pics in the sunlight if possible before you install them then again after. They should look really good on the Vibe.

I used regular paint for cars.I hope it will not crack.I sand the mud flap 1st to be sure the paint will stick well on the plastic.Then I applied the paint and clear.There's pics one installed. The color match is perfect and I look so nice.

quote:How hard are they to install?In fact, as they were already installed before I painted them, they were very easy to re-install. I haven't had to remove the wheels, even at the back.Install them for the 1st time take about 30-45 minutes, as you have to remove the back whells to drill holes. It is an easy thing to do.
