I took a stab at this install today. I must say that I thought it was easier to do on my F15 given that there was more room to work with behind the fender. It took me over an hour for the first side and less than 30 minutes for the second. 2 time saving tips that I learned while working on the first side is to buy 2 rivets and remove the ones that hold an internal plastic liner tight against the fender. I have marked up the IND pic to show the rivet location. The second is when removing the fender flare, the bottom vertical tab actually points straight down on the inside so its best to bend it up from inside the fender liner and push it out from there. The other fender tabs after that are accessible by hand and are easy to get out once the bottom tab of free.

I have include pics of the before and after too (sorry they are sideways...). Overall I love the look these reflectors, much more than the small cuts on my hands so I'd say the time and effort was worth it.
