If i'm not mistaken, there's a difference between all 01-03 and 04-06 models(no matter if Celsior or LS430) due to different rear bumper, so the rear mud guards won't fit both models.

BTW, i got mine from a seller on Ebay located in Japan. Little bit pricey, but this guy has great communication and fast shipping - http://motors.shop.ebay.com/zeroism702/m.html

Except that the part numbers are the same - except for the color code suffix - for all model years (01-06) of the LS430. Unless the part number website I've used for some years is wrong ... I have not found it to be incorrect in the past.

For example:

LS430 EURO spec(08.2000 - 07.2003) rear mud flaps in black 76626-50050-C0

LS430 EURO spec(07.2003 - 08.2006) rear mud flaps in black 76626-50060-C0

Part numbers are different, but i can't say for sure they are not interchangeable! You're using link Perhaps the part web site i'm using, is not correct. Peace and nothing personally ;]

You are, of course, correct. The front mudflaps are the same through all LS430 model years but the rear ones are different between 01-03 and 04-06. Thank you (I really mean it) for the correction.

Thanks for any input.
I just ordered a set for my car, price was $270+shipping. I'll be happy to let you know how they are when I receive them, should be a few weeks though.

Thanks, Greg.

I found out that Toyota no longer makes mud guards in our car's color -- code 072 -- so I bought a set of brand new guards in code 062 on eBay for a fraction of the cost of what they would have been at the local dealer. Codes 062 and 072 are pretty close in color, but I'm going to re-paint them anyway with custom-mixed base and then clearcoat.

Still have not arrived yet, I'll follow up with them and see what the time frame looks like. Originally 6-8 weeks for delivery so I haven't exactly been waiting on pins and needles... I'll let everyone know when I get them.

So i finally got in touch with the seller. They neglected to tell me a few months back that the product was no longer available and that my order had been canceled. With that said, I have not pursued further and probably won't for the time being unless someone finds a good solution.

Sorry this wasn't helpful.

I'm finally going to install our newly re-painted mud guards, but the installation instructions are in Japanese. Unfortunately, I don't read Japanese. There are illustrations of generally how to do it, but I think I'd do a better job if I had the English instructions.

Does anyone have a pdf of those instructions, or a link to a site that has those instructions?

Thanks for the help.

About the best I can do is to provide another illustration. The OEM mudflaps I installed on a 90 LS400 and a 00 LS400 both came with Japanese-only instructions. I think you will find installation intuitively obvious when you hold a mudflap against the rear of a fender well. They will fit perfectly so it's virtually impossible to install the in the wrong place.

You will probably have to remove the back wheels but there should be enough clearance to install the front mudflaps if you alternately turn the front wheels all the way to the side.

A bit of drilling was required on my 90 and/or 00 LS but don't know if that will be required on your LS430 ... but how to do that was intuitively obvious too. If installation is like on my 00 LS400, you will need a set of small metric hex wrenches. Your LS430 mudflaps may have come with fasteners that will replace existing ones and they may be slightly longer to allow for the thickness of the mudflaps.

I don't remember much about the 90 LS mudflap install (21 years ago!) but I remember the install on my 00 LS was super easy - maybe about one hour total.
