Fender liner/splash guards

Any recommendations on fender liners, splash guards, mud guards? I need to replace mine for both front wheel wells.

it looks like there are two separate pieces per wheel well plus all of the plastic clips.

is there an aftermarket kit for this?

Do you mean the actual fender liner, or the small panels that protect the alternator & engine from splashes? Because they get brittle and fall off about year 8 or 9..

The small panels are torn to shreds. It’s an 06 so makes sense. OEM for the four aprons are like $150 together. I ended up finding a kit on eBay that’s well reviewed and comes with all the little plastic clips and 4 panels for 60USD with shipping to Canada.

will see how they go, definitely want them in before the snow comes and all of that moisture and salt starts getting in the engine bay.

Yeah, I was going to suggest the eBay ones, especially if they come as a kit with the clips.

I've got the same ones and they are great! More flexible and tougher than OEM!

Will report on how they are when I get them in.

You will be happy with those! I just bought them (from Amazon) and put them on today. They are definitely high quality, and the price can’t be beat since it comes with new clips and the special tool to help remove them. The only thing that did not go smoothly was that there was 1 spot on each side of the rig where the clip wouldn’t fit on my 2004. I tried everything, and it simply wouldn’t go on. You can reuse 2 old clips (1 on each side) or if you lucky like I was, use an extra oem one laying around the toolbox. You also could use a zip you wanted to on that spot.

If i get a chance, I can take a pic of the spot later.

This is the spot where the given clips won’t fit. After reading the reviews, looks like I’m not the only one with the same issue. Nonetheless, I highly recommend them. As you can see, it’s in a spot where you could use a black zip tie if you don’t have any more clips, or can’t reuse an old one.

Did you see post #5, clips like that hold better.

yup that’s what I did. Thankfully I had some extra OEM ones from when I replaced the aprons on my wife’s 08 GX470!

The ones I ordered from EBay came in and were simple to install. Much better than OEM. Material is flexible, kind of like rubberized flooring material. I would recommend to others.
