Looking for Splash/Mud Guards

I'm looking for splash guards to put onto my 97 3.2tl. The dealer price is higher than I wanna pay, so does anyone else know where I can some from at a better price?

The dealer was asking for about $75. Thats not too bad, but I know that the dealer's price is always higher than what it should be, so I was wondering if anyone knew of any other places to get them. I've been looking online, etc but haven't found them yet.

I dont know why you would want to put the mud flaps on the car, I took mine off because it looks so much better.

I think the mudflaps look tight, ONLY when painted the car colour. Make's it look like you have sideskirts and rear under spoiler. (well maybe not, but it's better than leaving it as black plastic)

Mine look ok, then again I have a black car, so it blends in and doesn't stand out at all.

I bet you can talk down the dealership by 20 bucks. Just say "Hey I'll pay 50 bucks, take it and make a bit of money or leave it and I'll go elsewhere"

My TL is black, with dark black tint. I've seen a few with the mud guards on and they add to the look of the car. Adding the black mud guards would make it tyte...

I agree, my bro cut his short (his '96 Maxima is almost to the ground) and painted them to match the car, looks tight. I'm planning on getting the side-sills painted and customizing some mud-flaps to do the same to my TL when I get the front end painted end of next month. Hopefully will be lowered by then. Hopefully.

How about the fact that the mud flaps help keep all the shit off your car after you wash it. I have them and it helps after you spent an hour washing your car and you go through a puddle.

Very true dude. That's why I'm gonna just make them a little smaller. Hopefully will still help with splashing, but won't look quite as obtrusive.
