Step 6: Reassembly

Hey, you thought peeling the wheelwell cover off the fasteners was a pain? Here's what I did. I took a screwdriver and slightly enlarged the square holes. You might be able to put the wheelwell covers back on w/o doing this, but this made it much easier w/o sacrificing the integrity of the wheelwell cover.

I believe the 2nd type of fasteners w/ the clips goes on last.

Put your wheel arch molding back on.

Now you have to make a decision here. Do you put the elbow back on or do you leave it as is? If you want to plug the hole w/ the elbow but want to remove the restrictive 90 degree turn, cut it off with a hacksaw. Here's what mine looks like:

I did it because if I needed service at the dealership, they might b.s. me and say that removing the elbow "voided my warranty" or some b.s. like that...why take chances?
