Default European or US mud flaps for the CT

I wonder, if like the Prius, we will be able to order the european or US style mud flaps for the CT in the near future. They sure keep the stuff off the sides better then none at all.

Have any of our friends in Europe seen them yet?

What do the mudguards/mudflaps do? Do they prevent mud and water from splashing onto your rear quarter panels? That seems to happen to me often, and it's noticeable w/ a white car. Maybe this is a good solution. Are they largely visible when installed? Any pics?

No pics, its easy because they don't excist at this moment.

They keep youre car free from jumping little stones that comes from your wheels/tires, so the paint does not damage. Why they call it mud guards or flaps, i dont know, in Holland we call them splashguards (tranlated)

Funny to here from somebody who wracked an RX350,

I owned a GS300 twice, an LS430 en several IS 250's so I missed the power.

oOoooo. Definitely miss the power of a V6. But the CT gets me where I need to go, efficiently and in a fun sort of way. LOL. I wouldn't call the RX sporty by any means, but it definitely had the 'omph' to get it where I wanted it to go.

Would love to have the mudflaps. I do understand how you can miss a performance car!

I looked in the rear wheel wells of my car, and I noticed things that look like little mudguards in front of my wheels.

Matt, those are no mudflaps, its to keep the flow of air in the right position underneath your Car
