Question
how do i install them   there tell me most updates dont put them in     thank you

Answer
A lot of us don't have splash pans.  One of my cars does, and the other does not.  They are a pain when you have to do some work on the engine, but the do serve a purpose.  As far as how to put them on; They attach to the oil pan and side rail.  They are just sheet metal, so you may have to do a little bending, but stay with it and you will get them on. Be sure to get them tight so they don't make noise.
If you have them, put them on.  New ones are in the catalogs.
Good luck and have fun with that car.
