what screws for 6th gen mus flaps?

[Suanico]

i just bought mud flaps, what screws can i use bsides the oems ones because mine didn't come with any, i dont want to buy them from honda because just for the 12 it requires they are $50 after tax(f**k that) what alternate screws can i use?

I think most of the other body screws are the same size. Like the ones at the ends of the sideskirts.

 

[Suanico]

I dont know which ones those are? are they the same as the ones holding the bumper on right over the grille?

I took mine off the other day to clean them... they were 2 types. two bout half n inch long and quite fat as far as screws go, the other 1 went in the middle hole was bout the same length but not as wide.

yeah! i dont know why the honda are selling it too expensive?
i bought some screws for my rear bumpers on a cheaper price not from honda and not OEM and it looks just the same...

see the screws labeled "G2" in that pic? Those are the screws amy was refering to. You could in essence unscrew one and match it to something at homedepot as those screws are about $5 each at honda.

They're screws. Go outside and look at the ends of your sideskirt. There will be an actual screw at the end of it. Not a clip, a screw.

Thanks sk8shorty017.

But you have screws that should match on your car already. Why buy a new one to compare? Your sideskirt won't fall off if you remove one screw.

Eran's CX is about 1.75 inches lower and has mud gaurdss. They scrape on speedbumps and just pop back into place. Eran reports minor "shredding" on the ends but says you're not goign to notice unless you're right up on them.

3DScott's DX is probably about 2 inches and has mud gaurds. They scrape on speedbumps and on hard corners and turns. They too just pop back into place though.

the original guards i had were from an ex dropped 2.5 inches and they were shredded and inch shorter than normal

s**t honda wanted $48 just for 14 screws and some fasteners so i said f**k that and got the same exact kit from napa just a non honda brand for $12 f**k yeah now my mud guards are on and oh it feels so good, considering i got the rear ones for free and the front ones for $12

hmm... do mud flaps work on aftermarket skirts?

 

[BlackHopeDC5]

the screws are the same as the ones that fasten the grill to the bumper...

hope that helps

What kind of aftermarket skirts? Maybe, if they are OE style. The front gaurds fit around the sideskirt though, so you have to worry about if that section of the sideskirt is shaped the same as the OE skirts.

hmm... once the snow/ice starts clearing up i'll try to take pics of what i have.
