Just Black. I'll try to post a few pictures tomorrow.

 

Can someone post a picture or two? I have a black car and am not sure if I want mudguards...

Thanks!

 

There are several picture in the TCH gallery.

 

I just got color-keyed Blue Ribbon Metallic Mud Guards & will put on this weekend & post pics. I got them from TRD Parts 4 U:

Note - the parts I received are well-painted PT769-03070 & not as shown in the generic picture from their website.

I thought my dealer was putting on color-keyed but put on black which I thought looked bad against the blue. Maybe OK for Black or Titanium.

 

Do you think the Mud Flaps increase drag and decrease FE??

 

I believe that you can get the mudguards in either flat black or body colored. (They offer most colors on Ebay. (I'm not sure if they offer body-colored at the dealer.) Unfortunately, when I ordered mine through ebay- they did not offer Blue Ribbon- so I just got flat black.

I have the front ones on- which attach with bolts. The rear ones require you to drill a hole into the body (which requires you remove the rear wheels)- and I was too lazy at the time. When it gets closer to summer I'll probably put them on.

They seem to help- at least in Wisconsin. No mudguard will keep the body perfectly clean, but I think they do help.

 

Mud flaps do help keep minor (and Major) paint chips from happening on the rocker panels and behind the rear tires. I have had them installed on every car i've had since '86. If you want proof look back of the wheelwells at just about any 5 year old car. Small chips and dents are common. My new ones are color matched but I think proper fit is more important than color. Black flaps next to black tires looked fine on all the other cars.

 

I think they increase the fuel milage as they produce a vortec just like the wingtips on my Gulf StreamV. And did I mention how pretty they look? ROTFFLMAO

 

Thanks for all the posts!!

Where is the TCH gallery?


tjd42 - I will look forward to your "tutorial."

I think I might add these on myself after I get the car...

 

I got the color coded, blue metallic mud guards and I can see the visual protection they offer after each ski trip. Plus they provide a visual effect of making the car look lower to the ground!!
