rear/front guard help

Does anyone have an installation link for the rear and front splash guards? I feel like i need to see some pictures or read some clear cut instructions on how to do this properly. My first time doing anything to the car and I want to get it right. The threads I've read so far have no working pics for some reason.

Thanxz.

I can help you with the front mud guards. The instructions are 6 pages and I will attach 3 to this post and the remaining 3 to my next post. I did not install the rear guards because they are not compatible with the appearance package dodad I already had on the rear bumper.

EDIT: these images are p.2, p.3, p.1

The final 3 pages. The order is p.4, p.5, p.6.

Hint: When cutting the stone guard as indicated on p.4, do not use the dimension indicated. Before removing the stone guard, temporarily hold the mud guard in place and mark a cut line on the stone guard. If you use the cut lineindicated in the instructions, you will end up with a larger-than-necessary gap between the rear of the mud guard and front of the stone guard.

Yes, this is the most important instruction. Don't know what they were thinking with the dimension they specified.
