Mud guard / cargo liner installation experience
Bought the mud guard (2 pairs) from Hondaacuraparts ($50, free shipping) and did the installation myself. I thought I needed to take the wheels out (at least the rear) but I did not have to. As long as you have a short philips, you will be ok. For front pair, you need to turn the steering wheel all the way to either side to access the wheel-well. The guards came with one pair of long screws with attached flat washer and another pair of push-and-snap fastners. For the front pair, you need to use existing screw but for rear, once you take out the push-and-snap fastners, you must use the new one that came with the guards. Pair of long screws may or may not be used for rear. I just re-used the existing screws for rear.
Overall, the installation took about half an hour. Fit and finish were very good. There is no need to drill any holes at all.
For the liner, the quality of the material was below my expectation but the overall dimension is quite good (neither too large not too small). There are velcros at numer of different places to secure the liner. One must be careful not to detach and attach the velcros too many times otherwise fibers of the carpet will rise and become unsightly. Once it is laid, it should provide good protection. Too bad there is only one color, black.

They do not charge for shipping and the price is comparable with curryacura.
