Clean rig! I haven't found a diagram showing the flares. I suspect they were installed at the port, or maybe the dealer, not least because the bolt heads are 3/8". It's been a minute since I had mine off, but I think I remember enough to give you a rough idea. The mudflaps with the cones go on the rears. The round-head screws go through the curved line of holes in the flaps. The front flares are meant to clip to a trim strip under the front bumper, so you should be able to identify them pretty easily by having the spot for the clip. The plastic clips go along the tops of the arches, inside the wheel well, over where the fender tabs meet the flares. The rounded bit faces the fender, on the top side. I assume they're meant to suck the flare tight against the fender as the bolt is tightened. That said, you may have some trouble fitting those to a two-door. The flares changed mid '92, I assume to match the square bumpers changing to the rounded ones, and those look like the later ones. I ran into this when I bought a rear flare off a '92 that didn't fit my '95, because the tabs along the top of the wheel arch were in different places. (I haven't tried interchanging the front flares, no idea if they changed the bolt pattern there as well.) The clips were different, too. Hinged rather than flexible IIRC. The shape of the arches should be the same AFAIK, so even if the tabs are wrong, I'll bet you could come up with something to make those work. Maybe new tabs glued to the flares to match your fenders, if you can work out what type of plastic it is/what kind of glue it likes. If you don't have the trim under the front bumper to clip the front flares to, you could just round the leading edges with tin snips so they don't look like they're missing something. I did that to mine after a deer strike mangled that fussy trim piece, and I couldn't be arsed to try and straighten it back out again. I'll try and remember to take some pictures of mine later. PM me if it's been a few days, things tend to fall off my back burner.1 point
