Question Mud guards - sell it or toss it?

The mud guards on my 2003 TL only has been used for a month before I took them off. It is useless for me now. My dealer installed them for me when I bought the car. So I don't know how much it was on market.

Do you guys think I should toss them or try to sell them if they still have any value? How much do new Acura genuine mud guards cost?

Thanks.

the oem mud guards can be had for 79.99 on this site. But alot of people are removing them because they damage the paint so i doubt that you will be able to get too much money for them.

DONT TOSS THEM. sell them on eBay. There are plenty of TL owners that are not savvy car owners and either dont know or dont care whether the mud guards will screw up their cars. I bet you will get close to $40 for them plus be sure to charge for shipping.

EBAY, set a reserve for the first time and see how high they are willing to pay. You might find someone stupid enough to pay 25 for them.:yack: MUDGUARDS

effective at eating away the paint. The dirt that gets tuck under the edges acts like sand paper. Another thing is our mudgaurds can be painted but they eventually chip making them a hassle to keep in good condition.

It doesn't scratch up the paint if you wash in between the mud guards everytime you wash your car, had it on my car for two years, and no scratch

I sold mine on eBay for $39 plus shipping, and i didn't even have all the screws for them either. So i guess you are right. There are some stupid people out there.:p
