Default Finally my mudguards are here.

Well, 7 weeks and $291 later my mudguards are here. Installation was a breeze, took me about 30 minutes to do all 4. I love the way they look. I wonder why do we have to buy them from Japan (thank you, Carson Toyota!) instead of getting it here. They are OEM Toyota parts and and most of the Lexus GS cars sold in Europe come with them.

Looks really good! And yes, it is strange that mudguards and JDM visors are not sold in the US. As if it does not rain here.... oh well

FYI for those getting body kits they will not fit.

The color seems to be the same. As far as the installation pictures, I did not take any, but it was simple. Here are some istallation pictures posted a while back by steviej:

I really like it! Blends well, especially on the newer design.

arnieosp, can you post some pics after you install the mud guards?

Just kidding, they look so stealth, one can hard tell they are there. It looks good, not too over stated, but it’s a bit over price

I bought those from Amazon, $29.99 for all 4. They did not fit right and looked like crap on the car, I took them off and sent them back.
