Installed my front ones today. Being I am quite handy with cars, I thought I could remove the stock fender clips w/o breaking them. Ha! Not possible! The fit and finish is great, and I love that they are adjustable. I should have ordered the rears too. my mistake.

I just ordered these Saturday for my Boost Blue CTR after seeing them mentioned in one of TheTopher's videos.
I have one question about installation - I see that they are adjustable, but they also have the VHB tape that I assume "locks" them down. Is it fair to say that you can't easily adjust them once they are initially installed with the tape? In other words, if I decide to tweak the amount of extension a month after install, does the tape prevent that?

Yeah the tape will keep them from
Moving. Just have to remove it and apply new tape. No biggie. I only used half the tape they provided.

I installed the rears today. After 1K miles on my car, i've already got some pitting on the inner rear bumper from stuff flinging off the tire. The flaps will definitely help with this as it covers most of area affected. I originally didn't want to do the self tapping screw, but after seeing how small it is and it only goes into the felt fender liner, I was ok with it. Fit and finish is perfect -- just like the fronts.
If I had to make a small suggestion, i'd want the flaps to go up and reach that third OEM screw in the bumper. That way, most of the painted surfaces will be protected. I put a piece of white tape on the area that will likely get sprayed with debris from the sticky rear tire.

Glad you like them. They are life savers for the crap on the road for sureI installed the rears today.

Got these installed a couple weeks ago. I had to flip the two front mesh peices as I could absolutely not get the holes to line up but after switching the L and R and installing them backwards, they fit perfect. The system as a whole is great and I can hear little to no pebbles hitting the side of my car now.

Mine showed up this week, but I am waiting for the weather to improve a bit before I tackle the front install. I will probably wait until it's time for the winter-to-summer wheel/tire swap to do the rears since I will be pulling the rear wheels anyway.

I need to order these asap. Where is the best place to do it? Do you sell directly on the forum, or do we just get directly from your website?

Just installed mine today. Very impressed, instructions were clear, nicely made, came with those extra bolts which are impossible to remove without breaking, shipped pretty fast and got here decently fast from canada, very nice.
My only complaint, and its not a big deal, the washers for the OEM bolts are not pure black so they kinda stand out a little bit, easy enough to replace with some metal black washers but I don't care enough to do that I guess. Good stuff, price is right.

Bummer, sold out. Anyone have an ETA of when they'll be back in stock? Supposed to pick my FL5 next weekend and wanted to add as much protection as possible...
