Default tC Mud Flaps

I saw that McGeorge has them for $30...not a bad price for something that could prevent paint chipping...

My question is, does anyone else have them installed? Do it yourself? I don't recall seeing it as an option when I bought my IIP tC...

They're not really flaps... more like little plastic panels. My boyfriend installed them on the car for me, didn't take too long. You have to drill two holes in the rear for the rear two though. If you do a search on the forums I believe I remember seeing something about how to install them yourself. When you get the guards, they also come with directions on how to install.

They are esay to install and flow well w/ the look of the car. I do believe that they will help to protect against rock chips, mud spray, etc...especially if the PA roads are anything like the upstate NY roads.

You can also buy "Toyota Bumper Paint" and "Clear Coat" to match and paint them if you want. I plan on doing that for my SW tC sometime soon.

I installed them in about 20 minutes, and that was including a pee break. I'm pleased with them.
