IIRC someone here wrote up an install a few years ago.
I remember something about the install going much easier if you warm them in a hot water bath to make them flexible before installing.

I have OEM front and backs on mine
My neighbor helped me put them on a while ago. I think they definitely added to the overall look of the car, but they can be a PITA sometimes. The install was pretty straightforward. We did remove the wheels when doing the rear ones. For the fronts, we were able to crank the wheels enough with the steering wheel for clearance to install. I think it took a couple / three hours to do both.

pretty straightforward, easy install (even w/ no wording on the instruction sheets). when you get to
the part where you need to flex them, pop them in the microwave for 30 seconds and they'll remain malleable for a couple minutes. enough to time to flex those mud-flap ridges around the sides of the wheel arches. <nod to allroadcole, who got that advice from somebody else>

I am thinking of mud flaps too.
I am about to order flaps. I want to keep snow, etc. from hitting my doors. Since you've installed your flaps have you noticed any problems with ripping them off backing in deep snow or excessive snow pack?
