Who Installed Mud Flaps?

Here are a few images of the install of the stock mud flaps. My Dealer had them in two days and charged me $44.98 tax included for the four of them. They come in a set of two, left and right. I am not sure they are really adding anything to the vehicle, I will have to live with them for a while and see how it goes. Very easy to install, for the fronts just turn the wheel one direction for the widest access and the opposite direction for the other side. The one screw not on the wheel well itself is the most difficult to access and it took maybe five minutes to do one whole flap.
The back ones are a tad bit harder to do since you really need a short phillips head screw driver or a right angle one. Don't forget that underneath the bumper is where the third screw goes for the back. I say screw but it is more like a pop rivet than a screw. No special tools required ANYONE who has ever touched a screw driver could do this project in a short while. Please let me know what you think.

Decided not to wait for Bingo Steve's reply and ordered the mud guards from Shark Racing on July 27th.
Got them today. They have the "Hyundai" name and logo all over the packaging so I feel certain they are the same that my dealer wanted $195 to install.
Rear ones install easily especially if you have the right tool.

There's a trick to the front ones - install them both at the same time. Move the wheels all the way to one direction and you can easily get to the two outer screws on one side and the inner screw on the other side. Then turn the wheels all the way the other direction which will give you easy access to the inner and outer screws on the opposite sides.
Once you've removed the screws, install both front mud guards at the same time. You'll have access to the outer screws on one side easily and the inner screw on the other side (Finger tighten the two outer screws on that side just to align them). Then move the wheels all the way to the opposite direction and you can tighten the screws that are now more clear of the wheels on each side.
Total time maybe 20-30 minutes according to how slow you screw and how many beers you drink.
