My "mud flaps" are called a weekly car wash.

A weekly car wash won't prevent sand, rocks and all that winter crap from ruining the fenders and rear doors!

I will take some photos when the rain stops here.
It is fairly discrete and not as noticeable as I thought it would be, it might be because of that I didn't stick them out too much.

any clear-bra installer can put film behind each wheel for those who don't like flaps.

I did some research on mudflaps for the 3IS and the only place i could find them is at Lexus UK's official ebay store.

Front: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2520892518...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Rear: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/252063286479

Also, if you know any local toyota stockist, you could probably get it as well coz it's the same product code as some toyota models are using the same flaps.

Now waiting for them to arrive from the UK...

Got them this morning from Lexus UK (invoiced with Lexus UK's letterhead) and proceeded to install the front set. Those china-made ones i had, had only two factory holes to secure onto the fender. However, this had four, three at the fender and one below, all using the factory pins to secure. It gives a snug fit with no gaps between the mud flaps and the car body. The material is different from those MIC flaps which were kinda stiff and hard to make it conform to the curve of the fenders, leaving a small gap that allows more dirt and water to seep through. Installation was a breeze as all one needed was a philips screwdriver and a pin-removal tool.

Yet to install the rear set, as that would require a jack which i did not have on hand at the moment.

Would look better with a Yosemite Sam or naked lady silhouette emblazoned on it.
