Installing the OEM splashguards is very easy. The only tools you need are a stubby Phillips screwdriver and a pushpin. You can buy the splash guard set from your dealership or online from various stores.

The box comes with four splash guards for each corner, and a bag with hardware. I printed out the installation instructions separately. According to the instructions, there is a step where you cut the fender liner in the rear to attach a fastener for the rear splash guard. I chose not to do this because there are already two fasteners that hold it in place sturdily. There are other members who have done the same with no issues.

1) Starting with the driver's side front: turn your wheel all the way to the left to get access to the screws.

2) Use a push pin to make a pilot hole in the plastic clip shown.

3) Remove the two screws from the lower end of the fender liner and underneath the car (this is where a stubby screwdriver helps).

4) Position the splash guard in place, then reattach the two screws. Use a self-tapping screw from the hardware bag to attach at the top. To get the best fitment: first attach the screws loosely, then apply pressure to the splash guard towards the body of the car with one hand while you fully tighten the screws with another hand.

5) Moving to the driver's side rear: remove the screw underneath the car, and the topmost screw on the fender liner as shown.

I received my box with splash guards but didn't find instructions(looks like you printed yours). The box came with 4 color matched splash guards and a bag with 6 screws/hardware. Not counting 2 screws where you mentioned something about cutting a fender liner which I may not cut either.

1) Where do the rest 4 screws go?
2) So in the front you made a hole with a push pin and installed a provided screw(bigger top). Then a bit lower, in your image I see an original screw which you screwed back, did you have to replace it with a provided one and you just didn't?

Has anyone followed the instructions and cut the fender liner to use the included spring nut so there are three points of attachment? My splash guards are arriving today.

Did your front guards fit flush to the fender and rocker panel? I picked up a set of OEM splash guards for a ‘24 A-spec from MyAcuraParts.com. The rears went on just fine with a nice clean finish and tight fit. The fronts though don’t match the contour of the rocker panel - there is a very noticeable gap. Did I get a defective set or is there a trick to installing them flush?
