Default IS500 Mud Guards

I'll probably grab a set before next winter to keep the car a bit cleaner.

Yeah, I just placed an order for it a few days ago. Want to minimize rock chips, now that I am adding 10mm spacers all around.

I wouldn't order from them. Scammed multiple people from multiple sites.

Oh, damn...well, let's see how it goes. I will give him 1-2 weeks. If nothing, guess I can have PayPal get my money back.

Several threads here as well from CL members who had issues

edit here is one I recall https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...is-a-scam.html

Suggest if you sense a delay in shipping your order don’t let it drag out beyond the time your credit card lets you cancel, usually 30 days

Fancy. I opted for the cheapy plastic mud guards off ebay. Worked like a charm.

That's the site where I ordered mine. Hopefully it's not the Scam website that others were mentioning. We will see.

I ordered a set from the site linked above and they arrived today. The carbonguards website is not a scam.

Good to hear. The above mentioned website did say it takes up to 10 business days to ship product. So we shall see...
