I don't know if they make one for the 3rd gen but I know they make one for the 1st gen.
In my taste it is ugly and I just bite the bullet and go with looks.
Sorry I can't help much.

Lexus used to offer a black mud guard. But they stop making them and you cannot buy them anymore. I have a 98 and was looking for one. I found a gray color pair ($10) that match my color in Pepboys. I installed in the front and it looks pretty "factory". It makes my 98 different than all the others. Sorry, I don't have a digital camera to post picture.

I would check:
http://www.ebay.com
http://www.grahamsauto.com
Autozone
PepBoys
Custom Shops

But really, let it go. Buy a can of Bug and Tar remover. An LS400 with mud flaps would look pretty nurdish. It wouldn't look BOSS at all.

Default Mud Guards

I have an '01 LS430 and the mudguards were available (albeit from Japan or Canada only), color coded to my vehicle (but only available in Black, Silver or White). They actually look GREAT!!! See the attached picture... thanks!

I'll second that.

Hey,

I have a set of factory flaps on my 92 and the 94 LS. I ordered them for my 92SC as well. Each body style takes a different set and they mold to the fenders perfect. Mounting is through existing tabs and there are no holes to drill!

The local dealer down in Denver would not order them for my 94...he said "they wont fit" I said...order them anyways I will pay for them fit or not....he said "I cant do it ....I already checked with the parts manager" Idiots, I have 3 Lexus cars and hot rod Toyotas up the wazoo...they will never get any of my business.

The application for the 94 LS says it fits the Canadian model...seems they get much of the sloppy weather and flaps were an option. Anyways they fit perfect and I can post some pics if anyone needs. Living here in the mountains...there are tiny pebbles on the road surface and these become flying missles when kicked up by the tires....I need the flaps for protection from chips. Ditto on the front of each car too...Clear bra's on all my cars.
