I want to put splash guards on my mustang to protect my new paint job, but I don't want to drill holes. Does anyone make clip on splash guards and can anyone tell me where to buy them.------------------

What I always see at car shows, is guys attaching regular splash guards to their wheel wells, by using butterfly clips. These can be picked up anywhere that office supplies are sold and are intended for securing a large stack of papers together instead of stapling them. The surface on these has a non-scratching coating, and to be even more safe - a few wraps with electrical tape wouldn't hurt.

So I attach the splash guard to office butterfly clips with the screws that come with the splash guards and then clip those to my fender lips?------------------

Why does my signature not work when I post, but if I select edit and not change anything, it starts working correctly?------------------

I didn't use the screws, I just use the clips. You'll probably have to trim the splash guards to fit the contour of the inside lip of the wheel opening. That's what I had to do. Ryan W.

The UBB is set not to allow images in the signature. When you open up an edit box, you defeat that feature because the UBB sees it as just a post. ------------------
