Thanks for sharing all of this!!! Just got it done as of now. That should help a little with rock chips when spacers push the wheels out.

Not sure how you guys are sliding it in far enough to be screwed through without pulling the push pins?

I bought a push pin plier and promptly blew one of them up - those things aren't right man. I'll assume I can use a generic replacement but if anyone has a "known good" I won't say know to that info.

Mine blew right by me like a stray bullet. Have a look at them. When they blew by me I thought they broken. Upon further inspection they were not. Placed them back with no issues. If broken find an exact replacement at any AutoZone.

Nah, broke into a million pieces. I live 3 houses down from an AutoZone but it takes forever to buy anything - I honestly just Amazon it.

So close…yet, so far away.🤣
I get it, though. Like 3 guys working in the back, but 1 guy at the register helping a customer for 30 mins.

I've got guards on order too.

The pins appear to be 8mm diameter, 10mm long. Turns out a flathead works better than the pliers. Going to order some replacements or stop next door, these are pretty much single use.

Awesome mod. I just did this and took about an hour for both sides. You really want to remove the bottom clip instead of trying to finagle the mesh in there. Some of the fender is hidden under the lining. The mesh has sharp edges and you wouldn't want to scratch the fender trying to get this thing in there.

They should be 8mm, I have been doing pretty poorly at ordering the right things recently so I ended up running to an Autozone a few houses down from me and bought "Dorman 961-37D Honda Splash Shield Push Rivets". The wrong ones I ordered were 10mm.

Those that have done this, did you remove the front wheels or is there enough room without having to remove them?
