Default Mudguard recommendations

Anyone recently bought a Mud guard on your 4GS and have review on fitment, quality, and etc?

I was looking to buy this one:

If anyone has any other recommendations, I'd greatly appreciate it! Not looking to spend hundreds of dollars on a mudguard just FYI.

I got them, they are not bad, you will have to drill a few extra holes to get them to fit better, fitment is decent. There is not much choice out there for mud guards on this car and for $23 for all 4 who really cares if fitment is not perfect, at least for me it is better then paying over $300 for better ones and that seems to be the 2 choices for now, cheap ebay ones or really expensive ones. I sprayed mine gloss black to match my car and they look very good, I do admit they don't exactly stop all mud from being kicked up on the finish, they help but you still see where it gets kicked up if you don't wash for a while.

I got the Lexus OEM

Paint matched perfectly - installation was a breeze and I don't recall having to drill anything. Expensive, but I waited until ebay had their 20% or 25% promo so that helped

I bought a set on Amazon that look very similar if not the same thing. They fit well enough and other than drilling one hole for the rears, I don't think I've had the smallest problem with them.

No it's real carbon fiber. It's more like a mud flap, but sleek and shaped nicley to the car.

Yeah the guy who sells this is totally unreliable. Afer 1.5 months of excuses I filed a chargeback with my credit card and eventually he shipped them. The guy will give you every excuse in the book. What was supposed to be instock and ready to ship took months to recieved, but the quality of the product is great. He's also known for ripping people off on this forum for larger carbon fiber projects.

Chiming in a little late... but better late than never. Mudguards for the 2013-15 are different than the 2016+, be aware when purchasing. For my 15, I bought a set from Amazon that cost in the sub-$30 range, fitment was close to perfect, and they came unpainted. I sprayed them myself with a few coats of adhesion promoter, paint and clear. Very easy DIY mod.

When I got my 18, I bought the same set and after prepping and spraying, discovered that they did not fit; there was a change to the body shape, I can't see it, but the mudguards clearly didn't fit.

So be aware of this little nugget of info... if you have a refreshed GS.

Would you happen to still have the link to the 2013-2015 mudguards?
