Hope you put some clear protective tape behind the mud guards where they touch the fender so that they dont ruin the paint.

Nice job! I always wanted to paint my mudguards, but I am now only missing the OEM front lip to complete my kit.

that's already been done otherwise I probably would have removed them. This was the cheaper route, but I have to say in person it does add to the car

Yeah, My paint was shit underneath the mud guards .. its all good though. Nothing like a fresh, OEM paint job for the Spring!

I honestly don't think they are going back on the car either. Its January already and we haven't seen more than 2 inches of snow!!!!


Get Used To It!!!

Looks really nice! I'm planning on painting my mudguards when the weather gets better, probably early Spring.

Did you get the paint from Paintscratch.com? What process did you use to paint them (sand-> primer-> rubber base coat-> paint-> clearcoat?) How good is the match? How long have they been painted and how are they holding up?

I'm anxious to see your photoshoot!

I actually had them painted at a body shop, along with my new bumper and the grill surround It's a primer/basecoat/clearcoat job

Bodyshop did a pretty good job, from what I can see. When you do your photoshoot, can you give some close-up pics of the mud flaps? Thanks!

Nice and Clean. I'm feeling the taillight tint, but I'm not sure if I should take the jump and get them for my whip.
