Hi, I went to the scrappy and got some front and rear mud flaps, they were off a pre 97 car...
The front ones fit bob on... But the back ones don't seem to line up or anything, is there different ones for different years??

the fronts fitted perfect, with the backs, there are 4 little rubber clips that sit around the back bumper i just used a heat gun to warm them up then i sliced 3 of them off leaving just the highest one, with the bottom bolt thst sits thro the bumper into the body, i just used a longer screw and, they sit fine now.

Ok, I thought about doing this but thought against it... There wont be anything holding it to the side of the bumper will there?? Just the bottom bolt holding it on..?
