does the job
As the Product Title states, "Easy Fit" Mud Guard...seems to have both the necessary strength and the flexibility to trim out the moulding and stay put. The included wide rim screws are helpful (think there's 4 per flap) but I used a combination of rivets and the screws. Thought the rivets would hold better on the plastic trim. Could be useful to have a steel stabilizer bar as wheel wells are seldom flat...to span a one inch recess, I mounted an angle bracket and riveted the flap to it.

My install experience
Install on 2016 Chrysler Town and Country. For the front I removed the #8 X 3/4 screws in the plastic rivets where the flap was to be installed. The rivet screws are meant to strip, I believe, so I used a utility knife blade to get behind the head of the screw and pried them out. I applied liquid paper to the rivets when I had the mudflap lined up then pressed in place to mark. The instructions say to make sure the bottom of the flap is parallel to the ground but they are slightly rounded so I found it easier to line the edge up visually with the outside of the tire. I replaced the rivet screws with the supplied screws since they had a coarser thread and would grip better. I also drilled one hole in the metal fender and, after priming and painting, applied some clear silicone to the hole and used the included screw. The rocker panel is plastic so I put one more screw there. For the rear the two rivets were well placed for the flap and not much other area to attach to so I used those two mounting points. I again took out the screws in the rivets and purchased #10 X 1 screws of same type (oval phillips trim SMS black--Lowes) to make up for thickness of the flap and the 1/4 X 1 stainless fender washers I thought would help. I was able to install the rears without removing the tire by using a 90 degree screwdriver. Hope this helps someone--no guarantees. (Can't tell from the thumbnail if you'll be able to see pic of rear install.)

May be worth it for some, but not for me
Bought for my offroad tacoma with 275/70/17s and they didnt fit with the bigger tire. Thats my own fault. The real issue is just that its a low quality product. Although the price is cheap thats why its 3/5 not 2/5. The fibers of the fiberglass were showing through on both sides, but one side much more than the other. The install is also just (i believe 4) self tapping screws per side into your fender. Only one out of 4 really grabbed well. If you have a vehicle that is on the road only and wont see much abuse and your tires are near stock size, this product will probably surpass your needs, but it didnt meet any of mine. Went ahead and bought just a front set of RokBlokz for my truck and am much happier.

Nice but sized for a Car not a Truck.
These were very nice mud guards. I liked the design very much but they were too small for a dodge truck. They also are not offered in a rear and front wheel version. Unfortunately the one received was smaller than the front wheel version. Hopefully the manufacturer will redesign the flap to a more normal truck size with both a front and rear mode.

this way the colored lubricant left a perfect mark where I would know to drill the mounting ...
I put these on my 2016 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road 4x4 using OEM screws, just drilled out holes in the flaps using a 1/4" drill bit and they screwed right in. First to figure out where to drill the holes I used some colored lubricant (something that would leave a mark but would wipe off easily) and I spread this onto the heads of the screws. Next I aligned where I wanted the mudflap to be installed and pressed it up against those screws, this way the colored lubricant left a perfect mark where I would know to drill the mounting holes. Then I put both mudflaps on top of each other as a template, and drilled through where the mark was on the first flap. It worked out perfectly and they look really nice on my truck! I used the 4WD logo flaps by Plasticolor for the rear and these "off road mountain scene" for the front flaps to give the truck more of an "OEM/Stock" look....

Alright
They shipped fast so receiving them quick was a plus. But the screws are cheaply made and didn't stay screwed in my car. Also they bend permanently after some time depending on how low you install them. I ended up just taking them off by hand since the screws are crap. They looked nice while they were on though

Good quality for the price
Good quality for the price. I put these on a 2011 Subaru Forester. You do have to custom cut them to the correct shape to fit the inside of the wheel well, but it is easily done with a box cutter and only takes a few minutes. I was able to use the existing holes in the wheel well and just purchased some nylon nuts/bolts for a couple bucks to secure these to the vehicle. I've had them on for a few months now and they are holding up very well. I haven't experienced the permanent bending that others have noted. Snow can build up on these as you're driving, but a very slight tap with your foot will make it all slide right off.

Like OEM on a Nissan Maxima
I bought these after a cheaper Highland set made of stiffer material started tearing at the screw line. These are relatively pliable rubber and the perfect width for my 18" 245/40 tires. The manufacturer thoughtfully included at least eight self-tapping screws. If you're mounting them with a drop of more than 3", consider adding washers to reduce strain on material near the screw heads.The flaps are holding up well and haven't faded like the previous installation. I did have to pull my wheels off to install them. A tip: if your lug nuts are recessed and you're using a standard lug wrench, wrap a shop towel near the end so you won't scrape paint off your wheels when the wrench goes off-center with pressure.For the effort involved in installing this sort of accessory, there's no point opting for anything cheaper. These are an excellent choice.
