There was no pressure. You secretly wanted a pair, just like all the cool kids... All that bellyaching in deciding on blacklines was purely theatrical

Thx Josh. They don't look half bad. Are they easily removeable? Thoughts were to just use them during the winter months with the winter tires and taking them off during the summer.

There is a DIY on how to install these, so maybe take a look at that. I negotiated them far down into the price before I signed so my car came with them already on. I don't think they look bad at all, I'm so used to them around here I think cars sometimes look weird without them. I keep them on year round. In the summer they do a great job of keeping the car clean behind the wheels, and keep that area from being sand-blasted..

Sorry to Bump on old Thread.....
BUT the existing DIY does NOT address the mud gurad instlation for the E92's...
I got my parts in and to my suprise E92's front fender wheel wells are way different than E90 & E91. In order to install front Mud Guards you will have to drill holes on the lip of the fender..... See below picture form the existing DIY..... These screws do not exist on the E92..... So has ANYONE installed mud guards themselves on a E92??? I am here to confirm that the appication is different for the fornts & I am not willing to drill holes into my wheel well.... Are there alternatives? Please help? Again...... circiled screws DO NOT exist on E92's.....

I actually bought the mudflaps
Unfortunately, my car is sitting a ship in the Atlantic Ocean. Should have it in 2 weeks. I assumed that they would just use the stock fender screws. If not . It probably would be easier to put new holes in the mudflaps rather then drill into the fender.

Ok, I just completed the install on Saturday for E92 & it is different....
1. I had to drill holes on the lip of the front fender to install the front guards. Besides that there was no problem with the fronts....
2. Rears were PIA. Please keep in mind that I did not remove the wheels..... It would of been much easier with the wheels off.... I did not use the metal braket thing that comes with the mudguards... In Fact I don't think it is necesary for the E92s. I also did not use ALL of the required holes either..... For each side I've attached using the fatorey screws. you will see that rears require you to drill holes both insude the fender whell and under the car.... I did not drill inside the fender but I did drill underneat the car to install the screws for the bottom piece.... This will all make sense once you start installing them.... Oveall they look nice and they are not that noticable at all.... i will take pics soon and post them. If anyone has any questions regarding these just pm me.
