Default Mud Flaps / Splash Guards on 4GS F-Sport???

Anybody install mud flaps on their 4GS F-Sport?

Since day 1, I noticed quite a bit of dirt splashed near each tire. I have an ultra white so unless I do something about it, they will always be on the car.

Anyone have a solution? I'm curious if this would be an effective solution.

I actually had the mudguards installed for over a year now and it barely noticeably but quite functional.

Are these available in the US? Does the attachment method use the current holes in the wheel area?

IMHO mudguards are essential. They aren't exactly huge, they are contoured/moulded to go with the bodystyle, and when colormatched they blend in pretty well. YMMV.

Where did you get them? I've been looking for a set for my 4GS since I bought it.

I found these on eBay, but was hesitant about how they attach to the vehicle.

How do the mudflaps attach? Was there any drilling involved?

This is exactly the kind of subtle mod I like.

Nice ride! Do you know if the mudguards you have will fit a stock F-Sport? I saw some on ebay that specifically says "not fit F-Sport" so I want to make sure. Also, how do the ones you got install?

I do not believe they are available in the US. Had to get these from Lexus Japan via Nigel jdm parts. Since its an OEM part all the holes align. I only had to drill a hole for one rear screw.

I got these from Nigel jdm parts one of our vendors on Club Lexus. You can also contact Luis from Carson Toyota/L-tunedparts who is another vendor.

If the ones on ebay are the JDM mudguards they are screwed on using the existing wholes on the car. I did have to drill a whole for one screw in the rear but it was not a big deal.

I do not see why the JDM Mudguards would not fit the F-sport because the only difference in the body is the front bumper and rear spoilers. I'll recommend contacting Nigel from Nigel jdm parts or Luis from Carson Toyota because they both get them directly from Lexus Japan.
