Things You'll Need:

• Level

2. Take your first mud flap and position it inside the wheel well of the wheel on which you want to install it. Make sure that the decorative side is facing outward, and that the mud flap is an appropriate distance off the ground.

3. Drill a hole in the top of the mud flap and through the wheel well at one side. Insert a screw and secure it, but don't tighten it all the way. This will allow you to adjust the mud flap to make sure it is level.

4. Use the level to adjust your mud flap and make sure it is lined up and level. Drill a second hole on the opposite end as the first hole and insert another screw. Check again to make sure the mud flap is level.

5. Tighten the screws. Drill more holes and install the remaining screws for that mud flap. Make sure that the screws are all tightened before moving on.

6. Repeat Steps 1 through 5 for the other mud flaps for your vehicle.
