Picked up my Pilot today and installed the splash guards in my garage this evening. Pretty easy install. I was slightly hesitant about cutting into the rear fender liners but the perforations weren't hard to find. I used a socket wrench and adapter with a Phillips drill bit so that I didn't have to take the rear wheels off. View attachment 166399 View attachment 166398 was it hard figuring out where to cut to install the clips? I didn't get a chance to look at mine yet with all this rain.
Splash Guards Installed
Did a quick search to see if anyone had already posted photos of the splash guards installed, and didn't see any, so figured I'd share a few pics. Just had mine installed along with door edge films. Very unobtrusive looking and complement the lines I think.

Dirty car, needs a bath, but I was patching a nail in the tire when I snapped this. Figured it might help some people.
One of mine the slot was not defined. I had to hold up and align all the other holes and mark where the screw would go the line up clip and you will find slot..
puttng the clips in may be easier if you bend them open slightly as the wheel well is flimsy.
also make sure the bottom tab to on rears is positioned behind bottom before screwing the rest on.
instructions here.
handy to have tight phillips for access with tire.
Very Satisfying how they perfectly aligned with the tire. The front are absolutely simple to install because you can turn the wheel for more room. No cuts just self tapping screws. The rears are a bit more involved. I had just washed the car so my wheel liners (carpeted material) was sopping wet and made inserting the clip nuts difficult. Brutal on the old fingertips trying to get the clips to slide into the slits. Then if you don't have a ratcheting screwdriver tool, I just used a screw bit and a pliers to drive the self tapping screws in. But overall an easy install.

An interesting observation I've found is that the black plastic area behind the rear splash guards on the lower bumper attracts dust like crazy. There must be some odd wind vortex created behind the splash guards. Most of the car stays pretty clean and I just wipe this spot daily
