Took about 20 minutes to install each set (front/rear). Double sided tape on the inside and plastic expanding fastners. Didn't have to remove the wheels. They fit tight against the body. I'll post a couple of pics tomorrow.

I agree BC. I like the clean look on the GS but I agree with the OP as well. The Gs gets pretty dirty. I would suggest paint protection film like others have said.

color matched mud would look decent... they would blend in more rather than the traditional black color

Here's a few pictures of the mud guards....and yes, body side moldings. Like everyone else I'd prefer a clean look without them, but dents from parking lots look worse.

I've installed mudguards on my other cars. They actually make the car look lowered.

Sorry 99 Alta, i haven't kept up to this thread, thought it was a done deal. I ordered and had the dealer install the mud guards, afaik about $50 labour. Unfortunately I have no pics and its snowin and blowin like crazy right now. IMO they look good, guys a dealership liked them saying they looked like ground effects kit. I'll post a pic when it clears.

Red face Mud Guards

Wow! I can't believe how over-priced these are!! $295 for four small pieces of plastic. I bought four Toyota mud guards for my 2011 Avalon from a dealer for $65. There is absolutely nothing that would make these worth $295.

Only if you want them ; ). They do come colour matched so that helps. My dealer supplied guards for a Venza were black, not painted.
