if you realy want to instal them its posible... BUT check out the backing....
your largest problem will be the curvature of it and the curvature of your fenders.....

if the curvature matches good then take some cardboard and a knife and try to cutout the area that it should fit into if it snaps into a hole... cut the cardboard large enough for it to go over the trim piece..

THEN get some 1/8 wood or hard type material.... and cut it to the size and cutout opening and try the trim piece if it will fit right.... IF it does then just tape up your whole fender around the cut area.... then trace the cutout pattern onto the tape with a marker.... then just use a cutoff wheel and cut out the majority of the area but not all of it! ya dont wanna go to large! you can always cut more but adding it is alot harder.LOL but once you cut the area test fit the trim panel with the tape still inplace to prevent scratching... then once it fits properly to your liking remove all the tape and get some primer, either brush on type or just a spray can and a small paint brush and brush the cut metal realy good on the inside and cut area to prevent it from rusting. then just put it all back together..


BUT then again ive never tried this so not exactly sure on how it is suposed to mount or what exactly is behind your fender where you want to cut!
so i would definatly sugest removing the fender and be sure thiers nothing behind it you could cut into!

LMFAO...My lambo door install was only 600! chit if u **** it up then the most it would cost u would be like 200 to replace your fenders, much better than 1,500!

DANG..... ya just do one at a time!
and remember to make those templets first! make sure your cuting out the right ammount of fender

start off with cutting it about 1/2inch short and come back thru it and work slowly!!!!!!!!
and remember to prime the fenders. i believe they are metal....

NO THEY ARENT! My brother had some on his VW Passat (and they looked AMAZING and FUNNY as heck) and they had the gas shocks and everything... FAR FROM EASY... Have you installed them before, SoldOut? And what is your other car?
