can you please post the seller link? Also was it painted? Do the not painted still fit the 16fsport? I emailed one seller on ebay and he said it doesn't fit. So confused

I don't have the link, but the Ebay seller was oriexoriex.
They came painted, paint match with Atomic Silver is excellent and as I said there were no fitment issues with my 2016 F - Sport.
I installed them myself, took a little more than an hour, but I was being careful.
It did involve drilling a couple of holes in the rear fender lip, but I did not need to remove the tires.

Sure, I got it at Lexus Otsu. Below is a link of all the dealerships in Japan along with their contact numbers.

Default 2014 GS-350 F-Sport mud flaps.

I'm not too worried about the look of the mud flaps. The front wheels kick debris all down the side of the car along with adding paint chips. I purchased mud flaps on Ebay from Hong Kong. You can literally bend them sharply and they don't break. Tough material. The front mud flaps go on perfectly, no drilling - just uses existing fasteners. The rear flaps are another story. They use the existing10MM screw from underneath and then you need to drill 3 holes on the inside wheel well edge of the plastic bumper material. This is hard for me to consider doing so no rear flaps yet. I even considered 2-sided tape - I know 3M makes a tape that will never come apart and then there is Gorilla tape in which I've not used before. So my question is - the mud flap kits others are installing here, do they require drilling holes in the plastic inside edge of the read bumper material? My car is a metallic white and I left the front flaps black. To me, they look fine and with their low profile, aren't too noticeable. They could be painted I suppose, to match.

Thanks again.

I don't think these came as a accessory in USA models but best way to confirm is to call in and ask.

No, they are Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) just like the TRD spoilers and window rain guards.

Do you have a link to the seller? I wasn't sure if these would fit a '16 or not but glad to know they do with some persuasion!

lets me know if you need help with the installation. The rear need a power tool to drill the screws in.

Purchased the OEM splash guards from Ebay seller ORIEXORIEX. The color is an exact match for the Liquid Platinum, the color code is needed when ordering.

The install was fairly easy on a 2016 GS350 and took about 45 mins. There are no directions, so basically I had to figure out how the provided hardware would work. The fronts ones were easy. The rears required a little planning as two holes needed to be drilled for each guard. Unless you have a right angle drill, the rears are a little tricky and the drilled holes will be at a slight angle but the screw will catch the nut clip and pull in. Each guard has an adhesive strip along the inside edge which adheres to the lower part of the fender, I exposed the strip before final install. Pre-planning helps. How I installed these does not mean it is the correct way, just my way.

Below are photos of hardware, a little during the install and completed.


Hardware: TOP LEFT: did not use. TOP RIGHT: may be needed on front middle hole. LOWER LEFT: rear and used with drilled holes LOWER RIGHT: front underside pop in
