I was trying to quote him. Couldn't find a place to delete the two I screwed up.
Hey don't feel bad timcole421
I screwed up yesterday trying to reply to RedTouringMA....accidentally said he had an EX that was made in Indiana which is my Civic, when he had originally posted his was made in Canada and his was obviously a Touring lol

I added these splash guards on my car a few days after Christmas, just this past weekend we had non stop rain here and I noticed a big difference and more protection. I'd highly recommend them, plus they are easy to install as well. I still need to take pics of them on the car, cars been dirty past few days.

... How did you guys get to the back screws without removing the rear wheels? I can't even fit the shortest screw driver I have back there. I have a touring if that makes any diff (though I don't see why it would)

What if you want to do the opposite? Removing the front splash guards? Can you re-use the self-tapping screws from the front splash guards?
I'm in the same boat. I'm assuming you can, I'm gonna use a socket wrench. You can also buy the replacement plugs from a dealer.

I don't like the look of the rear splash guards, and Canadian civics always have just the fronts. Gonna remove them, the US civics don't have em and I like the sleek look a la Motor Trend. http://st.motortrend.com/uploads/sites/5/2015/09/2016-Honda-Civic-Touring-side-profile.jpg

What worked for me is actually pulling the bumper from the bottom side where the splash guards go a little outward toward you it will budge. I held and pulled the bumper toward me sideways outward it had enough flex for me to get the screw driver cleared of the wheel as I loosened the screws. Once the screws came out, the bumper budged even more to work with.
It worked for me, hopefully this will work for you as well.

It sticks out even more on WOP. It's quite the conundrum as the white could benefit the most from keeping dirty road water and slush off the side of the car.

Bought a set the other day and yet to decide on installing the rears when I put them on. Probably will because they're meant for function after all. But the fitment of the rears looks sketchy. They don't seem to curve enough with the rear bumper. Look almost like a universal fit in some of the photos with that gap between the guard and the bumper.
