ugh, I bought these splash guards and just installed last night. I wish I'd have seen this thread because those clips are complete garbage. It didn't occur to me until it was too late that they would cause damage if I wasn't extremely careful, and of course on my first attempt the clip went in between the guard and the fender and scratched the crap out of the paint where it will be easily visible if I ever remove the guards. I followed that up by immediately slicing my thumb open on the near razor-sharp exposed edge of the installed clip when I was wiping things down after install (now I have to worry about my 4-yr old son brushing up against my car and getting cut open. Plus I couldn't get the lower clip to fit on the passenger side of my car. In hindsight I'd have paid the extra money for the ACS guards and I still might swap them out. There has to be something better than those metal clips and I'm surprised I hadn't seen complaints about them in my research before I bought them.
