I was thinking about getting mud flaps/splash guards (not sure if they are the same thing) dealer wants $300 - seems a little steep - any ideas?

I put on some small ones I got at O'reilly. They protect well and are very inconspicuous. They are also very inexpensive (about 16.00 for all four) so if they get damages they can be replaced easily. Check them out ,I believe they are size C in the size range for the flaps in their stock. If you have any questions let me know.

$300 for four mudflaps sounds like the going rate if they are OEM Lexus. OEM Lexus mudflaps are very high quality and perfectly contoured to fit. They attach to existing holes in the bodywork and come with all mounting hardware. They can't get knocked off or knocked out of position like some aftermarket mudflaps.
Lexus stopped selling mudflaps for most of its sedans back in about the mid 90s. I bought a set from my first LS in 1990 from a Lexus dealer in England before Lexus dealers sold them in the U.S. I think I spent about $400. OEM Lexus mudflaps are incredibly durable. A body shop accidentally threw the rear ones away and had to get new ones but the front mudflaps on the 90 LS appear to be in good condition after almost 19 years.
I bought a set of mudflaps for my 2000 LS400 from a Canadian Lexus dealer for US$352 and another member of this forum obtained an identical set through Toyota for $288.
The least expensive OEM mudflaps I've seen for an LS430 is $280.
So $300 is probably not out of line if they really are high quality OEM Lexus mudflaps.

Has anyone come up with a stylish solution for a tasteful mudgard? My wife is to upgrading from a 15 year relationship with our '94 to a 2010 and I have to have some protection.
Here's the current ES with the OEM "flaps".
