Installing strakes after front mud flaps.
I installed strakes but I did not think it was possible as I already had the front mud guards on the car. To my delight I was able to unhook the top clip from the fender well and bend the guard just enough to get my big ugly hairy hand in there and pop out the side vent. Just wanted to let anyone interested know, it can be done and not let it deter you from buying the strakes if you already have the mud guards because the strakes really do make a difference.

Sorry, I didn't take pictures. I removed the top clip from the fenderwell guard. You can bend the guard out a good way enough to reach your hand and arm in and squeeze the sidevent clips toward each other and push out at the same time.

Just make sure you align and tape the template correctly and place each strake in the proper positon such as upper left and lower right as they are marked and it should be a smooth installation. It took me about 45 minutes.
