I would get the mud guards if you have the running boards, all the crap builds up on them.

Thanks

That's where I purchased my set. See my post and link above. I didn't really look for, nor need, a video to install them. It's quite simple to determine which ones are front and which are rear and the installation on each wheel well only took a few minutes with an electric screwdriver. The quality of the ones I purchased is fine, as is the fit.

I went ahead and ordered a set of OEM mud guards for a bit over $100 shipped. A dealer verified that PK389-13P00-TP fits the 2024 RX450h+. The main reason we want them is that spray and mud ends up in the front doors on top of the lower door seal. Hoping these will prevent that.

They won't do that. Mud and gunk gets under the door.

I haven't installed them yet, but I've scanned and attached the installation instructions for the 2023+ RX Mud Guards, PK389-13P00-TP

I bought my RX 350 AWD without mudguards. I bought some from a Lexus dealer online and installed them myself. I paid about $75.00 for them and they were about the easiest set I ever installed. OEM Lexus mudguards. As far as what do they actually do for the car? I'm not 100% sure but they may help with rock chips and other debris.

Default 2024 Lexus RX 350 Whit mud guard pictures

Can someone post a picture of their 2024 RX-350 in white with mud guards. This thing is throwing junk all over the sides of the car. Thanks in advance.

Not a great side shot but post #174 in this thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/rx-...t-here-12.html

The sides stay pretty clean.

Thanks. Yes I went ahead and went OEM as I didn't want to take a chance on aftermarket parts.

A few more shots of my white 350H with OEM mud guards.

Note that the car was just driven in the rain the day before. Not much splash on the paint.

I bought the mudguards for our RX450h+, but after reading the installation instructions, I chose to have Lexus install them for me. I didn't feel comfortable drilling into a brand new car LOL Labor rate at my local dealer was stupid, but it's done and over with now.
