While the installation guide will certainly save you 5 minutes trying to figure out what goes where, it's fairly intuitive when you look at how the existing fender flare brackets line up with the fender holes. You can use a 10mm spanner or preferably a short 10mm socket to install it between the tire and fender wall but as others have said once you get the hang of it you can very quickly remove and replace any existing fastener to have. (Existing fasteners hold the fender flare so no additional fasteners are required. So I don't understand the comments about fasteners not fitting and having to go to an auto parts store. If you don't already have fasteners that fit properly then I'm wondering what currently is does the fender flare hold?) You will also need a short-handled Phillips screwdriver to install one of the provided screws into the farthest hole on each fender. This is possibly confusing as some reviewers complain that the 'square stubs' get destroyed once they remove them? There is no need to remove the plastic plug as the screw provided fits perfectly into the plug's square hole. With the available brackets, all the holes in the fender line up perfectly with the factory holes. So if something doesn't add up, you're just doing it wrong. Fenders look great once installed, like they were always meant to be there! :-)
