Sounds like BS, I purchased then off the internet from I believe Texas color matched and took the easy way out and had them installed removing the rear tires for $35.

 

Hi, welcome.

If what your dealer speaks of is true, then my car (and many others) must have a boat load of problem.

Seriously, I have not had any issue with them and they look great. They were easy to install (the rears do require the tire to be removed and I just did one at a time using the supplied jack that came with the car).

If the dealer will not give them to you, buy them from this site (http://www.trdparts4u.com/MC-CDCE-DA.aspx) as they will be cheaper, you can get them color matched, and then go to your local shop and ask to have them installed if you don't want to drive yourself.

A note: if you install them yourself, the front screw hole plugs just turn and pop out. I though the whole thing comes out (anchor and all) but I was wrong. It took me awhile to figure this out. The mudguard screw uses the anchor.

Good luck!

 

ummmm...very strange..But they were really adamant about them messing up car....had my son just call his friend, a mechanic, and he never heard of it..told me to call other dealers but two other dealers gave me a quote with mudguards...so if I buy from this dealer, i'll just buy my own mud guards. thanks...

 

Messes up the car? Not only STRANGE but also complete hog-wash. Can't remember for sure, but I believe the Canadians get them as standard equipment (at least on the Prius), and possibly people in the South-East.

On the '07 regular Camry, they were offered as accessories! (I still have my propaganda sales pamphlet.)

 

Dealer = Moron

 

Total nonsense. Mudguards come standard on the TCH here in Ottawa (at least they did on mine). Its listed on both the US and Canadian websites as an accessory as well.

 

Got quote from another dealer. Said I wanted mudguards. He checked and no problem...This is very strange..........

 

Dealers are salesmen. Some are knowledgeable about their products, some aren't.

 

I don't have any.
Not too much mud and zero snow where I drive.

I like the idea of them though!

 

They are black, and I think they work great! I wash my car far less than I did with my last camry without mudgards.
