No Art, I bought the black ones from Ebay right after I got the car back in early 2013. A friend also has a Satin Cashmere 2012 model and installed the car color mud guards. After seeing his I liked the contrasting black more so I didn't paint them. They're still on there and still look good. I armorall them each time I wash the car so that they have a satin shine. I did install the rears and they installed easily and look perfect.

I drilled through the plastic bumper/rear panel to mount the mud guards. I used stainless screws and washers to eliminate rust. The installation was simple and it took me about 15 minutes for both sides. I did not have to remove the wheels.

I'll do it when the weather clears.

Good Luck with the project!
