Rear Bumper protector and splash guards

So I went on EBay and bought the above instead of paying the dealership to install them for me.

Anyone have any experience in installing them? One issue I have with the Bumper protector is that it requires the 3M Protective Tape Application Solution to be sprayed on the backing before applying to the bumper, to help smooth out the bubbles. But I cannot find where to buy that solution. Anyone have any ideas?

Soapy water? Not saying for sure, but that's how you apply window tint....

I installed both accessories myself.

I did not use any type of solution to apply the bumper protection. I just carefully aligned the sticker. Then applied the sticker a few inches at a time, carefully pushing the sticker down a about a 1/4 inch at a time, working accross the bumper. Just be careful not to stretch the material when applying it.

The mudguards are a piece of cake. The screws just go right into plastic tabs already existing in the wheel well. Just take the supplied screws and push a hole into these tabs, then install the mudguards.
