Question OEM mud flaps?

Does Lexus make OEM mud flaps for 2023 - 2024 ES cars? If not is the a good aftermarket replacement?
I live in the rust belt and had OEM's on my last 2 Toyotas. They really help for salt and stone damage.

Unfortunately not. There are some aftermarket but they all come in black with some painted in white. I still want them, but I want them in my car color. Still searching....

There are no OEM mud guards available. Some members have purchased aftermarket guards and had them painted the car color. I have them installed on my 2019 UL in black since 2019. They are very easy to install and they do save your paint. GOOD LUCK!

My car is black so no painting. At least the OEM ones from Toyota came in the same body color.
? Do have a manufacturer's name? Easy to install or drill holes?

Ya, I've been internet searching. Looked at AliExpress. I don't know where they get the "express". Shipped from China and over a month wait time for delivery.

AliExpress i order there all the time the most is two weeks to my door. Also can you pay after you receive the package they have a pay later option

Now eBay items shipped from China is about that time slot!

Texas is hardly a utopia but I’m sure glad I don’t have to worry about stuff like this and snow tires! Although I guess people who drive gravel roads also would benefit from mud flaps.

I call them splash guards. Mud flaps go on pickup trucks.

No snow in Texas (mostly) however I'll take the snow anytime over snowball size hail... Another member in San Antonio had his new 350 hit by hail and wound up getting his whole car repainted - which had a bad ending...

The fronts required no drilling. Existing screw holes lined up. Use stainless screws if you do the job. The rears required one hole to be drilled IIRC but the rear quarter is plastic so no rust worries. GOOD LUCK!

If you grew up driving in the snow than you really don't need snow tires. A really good all season directional tire or the newer "All Weather" tires works fine. They also tend to stone a road instead of new pavement. Stoned road is stone put over tar. Messy for a month or so until enough traffic grinds the stone in.
So for a small cost it can help keep your car from rusting and getting stone scratches. I also under wash my car after the roads dry from snow and salt.
Anyway it's not that big of a deal.

I have just started thinking about adding mudflaps to my 2023... They definitely help reduce rock chips and stuff like that... What manufacturer or website did you use?
