Default Mud Guards

Does anyone know where I can get mud guards for my 2018 IS300 F sport? I have a white car and this ugly Canadian slush leaves the side skirts of my car dirty af.

Going by pictures, there seem to be 1 or 2 versions available. Amazon's are $23+ so I ordered these ones from eBay for $15, which look like the smallest version. Haven't received them yet though to validate:

I just received these today... My buddy warned me that using them without a liner or other form of protection could damage my paint as the plastic/rubber vibrates on the bumper/fender.
Has that been an issue on your IS?

no issue. Some cars have the gaskets, most don't. If you secure it there should be no vibrations.

So I tried installing today, but the clips didn't seem to fit onto the front fender fastener points. Did you have that issue or perhaps have install instructions? I am a noob at this stuff lol.

I installed these a few weeks ago. I did have to go to Lexus and get the plugs for the front mud guards to fit perfectly. The plugs provided with the mudguards work for the rear.. even though they are a bit loose in the rear without a 3rd screw/plug.
