Sorry if this sounds stupid but i need a Diy or some pointers on installing the mudguards on a 97 civic ej8 coupe. I just bought these OEM honda one's with bolts and all but have no idea how they go on. And i dont want to install them all wrong and ****. Any pointers are appreciated. TIA

 

sorry, sounds stupid.

 

wtf????

 

Do you have some? If not than dont hate. Im just curious cuz of the other things that come along also. It has bolts,some plastic things and some metal thingies. Thats why im wondering. Sheeeeesh got nothing good to say then stay the hell away.

 

good thing this site isnt supposed to be for people to learn and discuss topics about their hondas. thatd be stupid to do.

 

Anyone?

 

i believe the dealer was suppose to provide them with instructions. if not go to one side of the car and test fit all of the splash guards. i do remember each and every one of them are stamped on the inside inner part for ex RR (right rear) RL (rear left) FR (Front right) and FL (front left). what does the plastic thing look like. are they square? if they are they are inserted to the fender or rear bumper then the splash guard then screw. if you cant figure that out good luck BTW look at peoples car or somethin

 

Thanx for your help. And as for looking at other peoples cars....i dont have any friends that drive civics. They usually drive cadillacs and bmw's or the bus...LoL

 

The dealership can print out any instructions for optional parts like this for free.

Thanx once again. As always your of great help.

 

No problem at all. Majestic has lots of installation instructions on their site.

 

Hey, well the mudguards are on but for some reason the rear mudguards dont fit too good against the bumper molding. Could it be the wrong part? or do i maybe have a diffirent rear bumper? The part numbers on the mudguards are as follows:

08P09-S04-100
08P08-S01-100

Anyone.......NOFX maybe? LoL

 

08P09-S04-100
MUDGUARD, RR.
'96-'98 Civic coupe/sedan

08P08-S01-100
FR SPLASH GUARD 96-
'96-'98 Civic coupe/hatch/sedan

Take a photo of the rear bumper and how the guards fit against the bumper too.

 

unless i have a 99-00 rear bumper for some reason...... Ill take pics of it later

 

Is there a VIN on the bumper and does it match the one for the car?

 

Where should the vin be? And my car is salvaged so it probably has aftermarket bumper or wrong year bumper. Ill take pics later

 

The VIN would be on the top of the bumper. You'll see it when you pop the trunk open.

Honda bumpers should say (on the inside) that they're a Honda product. They'll also have a part number in there (not a Honda part number, but very similar to one). It will probably say something sort of like "04715-S01-A00ZZ". It should also say <PP> somewhere on the inside, but other brands might also say that.
