Colored Mud Guards.

What would you all think of colored mud guards. I need something to do to my car. Would it look good? I have a WDP car and where would i find a matching sparypaint like that or should I do them High gloss black.

What about the front lower grill thats black how would that look WDP and the fog light holes to.

I would recommend taking your mudguard's to a body shop and have them painted the same color as the body.

The paint is actually easy to match. They get the color code from inside the driver's door. I had mine done for $80 about 6 months ago.

If you're going to paint the mud flaps definitely have a body shop do it. They should include a flex agent in the mix so that if you clip the mudflap on something it won't cause the paint to crack or spiderweb.

Firsts for the Accident, 2nd casue the HID light was messed up, and 3rd last week the door molding paint was chipping and they painted that I should have asked then to Paint the mud flaps.

OK for me right now its not worth painting the mud guards anymore. I went to Napa to get all the right supplies and it will cost me around $100 bucks for just them. I went to a bodyshop and they said $150.

Question Mud guards

Mud guards vs a drop. Let's see , mud guards painted and cost of guards would be around $250 correct? Or you could buy some Sport Hn Rs for $179, and install for $120 ,and drop that bad boy! My vote, Drop it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
