NEED HELP!!mud flaps

So i have waited for these RA flaps to come in for about month now.. and finally when i recieve them... i cant seem to install them. So i have looked everywhere.. watched vids.. and all say that i should have some removeable bolts that i can take out with a flat head.. but mine dont have any. I drive an 07 wrx tr. so my guess is that i just dont have the same side skirts as everyone else.

My question is: how do i install them if i cant take off my side skirt.


thanks.

They aren't bolts as much as they are plastic clips. There's an install video that they link to on the Rally Armor site that gives a pretty clear view of what you need to do.

As saq warrior said, they are plastic screw that acts like those anchors used in dry wall and such. TR's have different sideskirts, but they use the same screws to hold in the fender liner.

What part of the bay are you in? I can help you out if you're near the Union city area.

When I was installing my rear ones last night (long story) I was peeved that the RA clips don't 'clip' into place.

Made me feel like I was doing it wrong for half an hour. Being completely hammered probably didn't help though.
