Mudguards on our TL?
Any of you guys have rear mud guards/splash guards? My bodyshop guy gave me a pair of rear splash guards from a CL-S and my car does not have mounting points for them. I tried it on without attaching it and it appears to fit, I would just need to mod it somehow. What do you guys think? Should I bother? It would look pretty cool since the front wheels have a small splash guard, and with the runner, the rear splash guard should compliment it.
Here's what the splash guards look like. Took it from the CL photo gallery.

I have mudguards on mine. They arent even really noticeable (thanks to the black exterior) but I dont have any problem with mudguards as long as they arent long and hanging really low.

To me, they add class.
Take a look at this RL, the standard mudflaps are about the same on the 1st gen TL

tried fitting the splash guards during my lunch break. I don't think it's gonna work. There are three holes in the guard, and only one mounting point on the TL (from what I can see). Plus, the guards do not go up that high to reach the mounting point. You guys think heavy duty double sided tape is gonna hold it up?

the tape may hold it but i doubt it will be for long, water, grease and anythin else on the street will most def come into contact with it since its so low to the ground so consider that

I wish I had a set on the rear, I don't, and it is definately the dirtiest part of the car, the rear bumper. Something very similar to the front ones would be nice, maybe after I have some extra money again...
