Default 2017 ES 350 Mudguards and Windshield sun shade

I have had no luck finding mudguards for my 2017 ES. If anyone knows where to buy them, please give the pointer.
I think these help to keep dirt off the car especially in wet season.
Also, I can't get the 2017 windshield sun shade either (LPartsWorld and other places) . I suppose the 2016 sun shade would fit, but I am not 100% sure.
Thanks

I'm sure that a sun shade for a 2015 would fit the 2017 ES. Nothing has changed since 2013 with regard to the size and shape of the windshield and dash on the ES.

As far as mud guards are concerned, you might want to drop a PM to bc6152 (Bob) or search his posts. I know that he has bought and installed mud guards on his ES.

I installed them they are perfect. And for your sun shade it will fit it's the same exact car as the 16.

These mudguards fit perfectly and can be installed in about 30 minutes. The fronts match up with the factory screw holes, the rears must be drilled. Very easy job.

Yeap he is correct and don't worry about drilling in the rear you drill into plastic. And be sure to use a 1/8 bit.

I would also add that I used stainless screws, washers, and nuts to mount the mudguards so NO rust issues. Put a dab of black enamel on the screw heads to hide it.

Thanks for all the helpful pointers everyone.
It certainly help to know that those parts have fitted well on your car.

Default Pics of mudguards

Here are the pics of my newly installed mudguards. Rear mudguard - Need to drill 2 holes into plastic, very easy drilling
Front mudguard - used existing 3 screws - need a hex screw driver. No drilling needed
Front mudguard
Rear mudguardIt took me and my son about 1.5 hours to installed all 4. I haven't done any car work for several years so I was taking it easy. Most of the effort was to remove and reinstall the 4 wheels using the car jack that comes with the car. The mudguards were custom made for the ES, and they fit extremely well. Thanks to all the folks above for giving me the instructions including where to buy these mudguards. If you are handy, it should take half the time it took us to complete this task.

If it's not too much trouble. How about a full shot from the side?

I was going to do that, but you won't even notice the mudguards standing back. They blended in pretty well with the car. That was why I didn't take the shot. No one but the installer will know that the mudguards are there. I am kind of happy with that.

You may not need to take the front wheels off, but I used a power screw driver, so taking the wheels off were needed for me. I just want to mention there was also a screw at the bottom of each mudguard. There was no drilling needed for the bottom screws (I don't have picture for those, but they are very obvious, just use the existing screws that come with your car). Having a power screw driver made this task much more enjoyable, I think.

I searched for sunshades from my vehicle. The best one I can find was on quiksnap.com. it took 5 day to deliver and received it last Thursday. I have been using them for last 8 day and I am more than satisfied with product. These shades keeps my car cooler plus it's a great alternative to tinted windows.
