Default Cost to replace splashguards?

I am a little late with posting this because I just got back into town. So apologies if this is a repost, or this has already been addressed I did a brief search and didnt find quite what I Was looking for. There was a pretty bad flood last week in the Chicagoland area near me. My buddy drove his tC thru some pretty deep water. He made it through okay but there was so much water that got into his bumber that it tore down the two splashguards under the engine and tranny. I know I could go to the dealer and get this info, but I figured I would check here in the event that someone has had to replace these already. He would need right and left pieces in addition to the tab inserts that connect them to the car. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

contact trdsparks.com and they will be able to give you a price on those. I did see a thread bout replacing splash guards but I can't find it either.

Mine were replaced after they (and the bumper) were ripped off due to road debris.

I think the body shop got them through toyota for about $350 or so. TRD sparks may be chaeper. If he is shelling out the money I would look at a salvage though.

I am wodering though, why cant he put them back in? Is he just missing the push pins? I can imagine it ripped them completely off the car and they are gone.

Hi, Thanks for the reply. It didnt come off completely. The front near the lip of the bumper got ripped off. The plastic is physically broken along with the pushpins to hold it in place. As of right now, it is tucked in and not so noticeable. My only concern is that it will fall out while driving on the highway and cause further damage.

they can get expensive. for each piece your looking at least 60 - 100 bucks depending where your getting them from. yeah i know, they cost a lot just for a piece of plastic. all i need is a new driver side fender liner and they cost around 80 bucks.
