The OE mudguards are one of only a few cosmetic mods I have. I also removed the "FR-S" badge from my trunk lid and replaced the long-ass radio antenna with a 2" Perrin.

Like someone else already said, you'll want to clean the fenders well before you install them to avoid grinding extra dirt into your clearcoat. You'll want to have a nice low profile jack ready also, they advise removing the wheels to avoid cursing while you drill holes and fasten screws into your wheel arch linings.

I really like mine though. I think the car looks more "finished".
With the 2" Perrin, do you still get the same reception? I was looking at this. Do you like the look better with the shorty?
