    Not quite answering the OP question, but I anchored the lower half of the splash guard with a bracket to the frame. The mounting areas for the splash guard were uneven enough to not allow a good attachment. Rather than cutting and re-working the splash guard, I opted to keep the splash guard 90 deg. edge bend intact to maintain its rigidity and strength. I did both sides, although each side was a different design. Also made a more secure bracket for the lower outside edge attachment to the body fender. The finishing touch is Alex's wheel well liners.

    And to open up the floodgates of opinions and second gassings, I have mine removable with NutCerts and machine screws (8-32 button or oval head if I remember right).

    Edit: I just noticed that my splash guards may be mounted slightly forward of where yours are. (It seems to miss that welded structure that way). I don't know if that's right or wrong, but they fit.
