Hm. Interesting. Not an option that I'd considered. They don't look too bad at all! Definitely could use them...

 

I just got the mudguards on friday, put em on in about 30 minutes including gathering tools, putting em on, and cleaning up the tools. very easy install that looks great when you're done, especially on a dark car (mines indigo ink).

 

That really boosted my confidence reading your DIY on the mudflaps. It was easy doing the fronts the other day, but I put off the rears until today. Tight squeeze with the big drill, but doable and not scary at all. Went without a hitch in no time. They look great on the Silver Streak Mica car, as I'm sure they will with any of the colors. Thanks again!

 

Hello Scion Lifers! My first post here! I got my tC two weeks ago and ordered my mudflaps from McGeorgeparts.com.

HUGE thanks to JasonH for the How-To It took about 30 minutes. I didn't use a drill for the rear ones and the screws did self tap, but boy did my hands get tired from pushing and twisting in! The right front screw on the bottom refused to come out for me. Went to the dealer and they took it out and put the last mudflap on for me! The flaps are almost invisble on FM.

I love this car!! Breaking the engine in gently is a true test of willpower for me!

I've been lurking for about a month b4 getting my car and I want to say THANK YOU to everybody here for all the tips, reviews and opinions

See you on the freeway!

 

You'll love it! Now I wish I was flying out there with my wife and daughter for vacation -- wait, I meant DRIVING out there! Heh-heh...
My silver tC would LOVE the road between Ramona and Julian -- nice and winding fun!!! Of course, driving the mountain roads in Maryland is fun, too.

 

This is probably going to sound silly, but have you noticed any wind resistance or noise resulting from these installation of these bad boys?

 

Nope.

 

wanted to send my thanks your way for the detailed install instructions! i did mine this afternoon and it was no sweat at all! was definitely skurred to drill into my car though.. hehe.



here are some pics of my install on a silver '06 so peeps can see a lighter colored car w/ the mudguards. i think they look great!





btw.. keep your drill away from your wheels! my b&d firestorm fell forward onto my left rear wheel and nicked the wheel!!!!!! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarg! lol... totally sucked.

 

its much easier to just take your rear wheels off. and drill the holes and plus it will teach you a thing or two for taking them off.

 

So these really won't fit well with the full OEM lip kit?

Damn, cuz I can really use them. How well do they work? Do you still fell little tiny bumps when you clean your car on the front of the door or on the underside.

 

na..they wont fit with any lip kit...

 

they are paintables and wont crack or anything and looks 90% better painted on SW

 

My friend LOVES his mud guards...like Crazy Love...haha

 

I just got my set in today in the mail and plan on painting them.. I have a question though. Should I sand them before I paint?

they feel like they're made of a rubberized plastic. im afraid if I sand them, that they will bee to rouch and start chipping off or something.. idk.

 

bump?!? I'd kinda like this info before I start tomorrow -_-

 

My car needed these years ago -____-, definitely ordering them now!

 

has anyone been able to do this with a lip kit
