The rear bumper is designed is such a way that the area near to the rear wheel is curved inwards to reveal part of the rear wheel. So when u view from the rear you can see part of the wheel like protruding out of the bumper to have a more agressive stance. So if you gonna install the mud flap, u gonna cover up the curve which will also block the rear wheel if u view from the rear...Which IMHO will mave the car look whimpy...

Thanks guys, from your post it seem like it is not a good idea to put on the mud flaps. i will look at another option.
this is my first white car and what i notice that after a wash i see road dirt and etc on the lower part of the front door and rear upper bumper. I guess i might just have to get use to this.

The secret to avoiding sling from tire dressing is to wipe the tires down after applying the dressing. Let it soak in for 10 mins or so, then walk around and wipe off the excess.

I'd like to see what the OEM splash guards look like on a GS. Also, keep in mind, you're asking for opinions from individuals who don't have gravel and salt dumped on their roads for four to six months of the year and can wash their cars in January without the water turning to ice and freezing the doors shut.

Actually as I've stated recently I don't like the way dirt accumulates under the door to the door sill where it gets very dirty. Never seen this any any past Lexus. I cleaned it again today and tons of dirt gets in there. So I am contemplating mudflaps if the wife says no to a bodykit 
Not sure what the front one looks like.
