where did you get those pieces from? and thanks!
I actually bought some universal mud flaps, and cut them to match, then just used the plastic bumper rivets that are already there to hold them in place. it is cheap and it solvea the problem someone else mentioned saving 1mpg is really hard to pay back, if you spend a lot of money to get it.

one major side benefit I noticed this winter is it kept a lot of the salt and gunk inside the wheel wells vs all over my hood. which is worth every penny if you don't believe in mpg savings
