I have installed (2) LH SIDE pieces that mount to the body rails and they fit perfect.
The front wheel rear splash guard doesn't seem to fit correctly where the manual says.
any pics anyone has would be appreciated greatly.

Those panels don't fit well at all on my car. There's decent gaps all around and the profile doesn't match the profile of the bumper.

I started the rear fender wells last night. The front of the rear well fits decently well, the rear doesn't match up with anything. lol. They also don't say how where to mount the side semi circle panel to align everything. I did it by mounting the front of the piece you bend, then clamping the rear close to it's place, then placing the side piece and marking the first tab location and drilling and cleco-ing. After that I removed it and curved it by hand as I mounted one tab at a time.

my rear fender wells went in w/o any troubles but the flanges on the rear , i dont who degigned them but they are awful. I plan to add a bracket to reenforce the rear wells.

check Mechie's build thread from the last couple days. He has the best set of installed fender wells yet.

a suggestion on installing front wheel (rear sheet metal pc.) try installing and fitting the pc with clecos to get it where you finally want it then, remove it and install your front fender. You can't install bolts on rear of front fender with the rear sheet metal in place. Bolt on the rear of the front fender to the rocker and then reinstall the rear pc of sheet metal for good
