Some of you have removed your rear splash guards. How are they Attached ?? Is there painting required after?? Do the fenders get a lot of action from the front tires ? Ive only got 70 miles on my Kat so i dont know what too expect??[url=http://members.shaw.ca/moparmania/moparmania_banner.gif.gif]  |

moparmania, If you remove them, no one will ever know you had them on. It is just a few screws. They attach to the taillight assembly. Really simple. ------------------ |

Nice to see another Canuck on board. I was in Winnipeg a couple of weeks ago on the coldest day of the year there. It was minus 30 and it doesn't matter if that is Celsius or Fahrenheit - it was cold. Came home the next day to Toronto and had the top down and temperature was in the 50's. Spring is just around the corner. ------------------ 99 Supercharged Shelby Durango |

Ed, I think he's talking about the fender guards that are on the front of the rear fenders. moparmania, from what I know there held on with double sided 3M tape, Chrysler wouldn't have spent the money on them if they didn't serve a purpose. It looks nice without the guards but you better have splash guards dragging the ground on the front fenders or the rear fenders will take a beating, I'd pass on removing the rear guards but it's your cat.

The front guards are held on by 3 bolts. They will not leave a mark if you take them off but you will have a lot of stone chips down the side of your car unless you never drive it. I would advise leaving them attached. Mine were attached by the dealer before I bought the car. Why do you want to remove them? ------------------ |

Ed, I still think he's talking about the guards that are on the front of the rear fenders, I guess we'll have to wait for a reply from him to know for sure. |

If you do not have front mud guards on your car don't even think of taking those off, the fender will get destroyed. If you do have guards on the front I dont think too much damage will ensue unless you have altered the bottom of the flap as some of us have done. hello from Florida!!! |

Moparmania - I have front mud flaps and considered removing the guards from the front of the rear fenders. As a daily driver, my car sees all kinds of weather. Just looking at the guards when I am standing there pumping gas or when washing the car, I can see why Chrysler put them there. There is always something on them, that otherwise would be scrtching the rear fender. As a suggestion, you might want to message Bill Gallagher. He removed his quiet some time ago. Happy Prowling Marty ------------------  Driving my Dream |

Al, I guess the moral of the story is not type and watch the Super Bowl at the same time. DUH. I agree with what Marty said, there is always dirt on the rubber guard. If you don't like the look, get it painted to match your car. AL, I have covered all bases, now. I should have caught on when you said it was taped on. DUH again for me. ------------------ |

Mine have been painted for over 13,000 miles and to my surprise they only have a few small nicks. I have seen one without that had 3M clear protective film on and it looked great and would reduce the risk of damage. ED, so funny. ------------------

I took mine off a couple months after I got it. With over 20,000 miles since removal, there are a couple small chips on the rear fenders (which have been easily repaired with touch up paint) but no real damage. I have full-length untrimmed front mud flaps. I would not remove the rear guards without the front mud flaps installed. The rear fender guards were something I had planned on removing before I got the car. I personally prefer the cleaner look without them and I was glad they were easily removable. I still have the guards to reinstall if or when I decided to part with the car.

I have to agree the car looks MUCH better without the black showing. First time I ever saw your pictures. Looking good. The $ 9 chrome treatment is door edge guard on the fins of the grill. Looks WAY better than it sounds. ------------------ |

Ed - You could have told Moparpania that it is the $9 Alley Cat Chrome Grill Treatment System (plus a $10 one time user fee charge). Do I have to give you $1 for each paid user to say it???  Thanks buddy,,,,
