this thread needs Taco Bill and his camera to explain WTF!
Here's what the stock GT500 flaps look like when installed on the back of a stock GT.
Compare to the wide molded flaps.

Did you trim the rears or just move the holes inboard more?
I know they look better with the GT/CS fenders but they have to stick out to provide more splash resistance.

I moved them in more so you dont see that smooth part on the flap, I would rather have it look good a have alittle protection then look bad and have more protection....

I just installed these, here's what I had to do.

I got them on, but it did require some drilling and trimming. I had to drill completely new holes for the bottom and elongate the top hole. Also had to trim some of the inside molding on the guard in order for it to sit flush against the car.

I could have bolted it right up without doing any of this, but then you could see the different texters in the plastic from the back and it just stuck out way to far.
