Default Mud Guards On 2011 RX

I gave my month old 2011 RX a bath today and noticed very small road tar down the sides of the doors. I was curious if anyone installed the mud guards and if it made an improvement on protecting against this. Also, where is the best deal on purchasing the factory guards? Thanks in advance.

Mention you belong to clublexus.com and they give a discount also. The mudguards do help some with the debris splatter.

So no hole drilling? It looks more like remove bolt, replace bolt. That's way easy. Even for a non mechanical girl like me. Can someone post pics?

Some people paid closer to $200 before the price dropped inexplicably

I didn't do the install myself but it looked easy enough..

When you sign up the Sewell and mention you are CL member. They will automatically give you a discount. No need any code.

It's simple and easy to install them. No drilling needs (even instruction says so). You can just turn the screws thru the dimple for the rear.
