Default OEM Mud Guards: Would you get them?

Lextasy has published some pics of LEXUS Mud Guards. I think the car would look great with them. What do you all think?

Would you get them?

maybe they might look good but for $385.00 they got to be kidding.

I'd rather get a body kit than the mudguards and $385 is absurd.

Nice but way too expensive. I'd rather put trading cards with tape as a substitute.

Those kind aren't to bad looking but like others have said, $385 is very, very pricey.

Lextasy is very expensive, for example the Ash Tray conversion kit is $320 at Lextasy and only $185 at Carlson Toyota

it's functional for people who live in places where they get snow in the winter.

I don't think it has anything to do with how much a car costs.

Too pricey. However, if it's color matched, I think it will look good. It's a clean design; not too overt...

What a RIP OFF!!!

First the mud guard does not flow with the line and actually make our GS look really CHEAP.

Personally, I would (did) use the 3M clear film to cover the bottom of the bottom bumper (same type of film that I have used to cover the hood, front fenders, and bumper). It functions as the mud guard without interupt the line of our GS.

Hmmm that's another place for the film eh?
