What exactly is a 'delete elbow,' and what car do you have?

It looks pretty simple from the ScoobyMods page. The only problem is those damn plastic fasteners that hold on the fender liner.

When I did mine I found it to be easier to do with the tire removed. Some do it with the tire, not for me thanks but I didn't realize how much dirt was crammed in there. Did mine at the 40,000-mile mark.
Wasn’t too hard, but it took me over an hour to do all the work alone. I did break a snap trying (was caked in sand had to use needle nose to pull out) but I was able to hammer it back in place when it was over...

If you're coming to the Mark & Monica's thing tomorrow night, we can talk about the install. I might have time Saturday to help you out.

you can get the fender liner out of the way if the steering is turned almost to rull right lock.
