Just another STOCK WDP with body-colored splashguards...

hard to say if i like them or not.. BUT i wouldn't recommend them after overlooking the fact that our WDP bumper does not match up with the rest of the car..argh!

I can't stand splashguards/mud flaps, but they don't look bad color matched! Well should I say sorta color matched

I hate when I take a picture of my car and then I can see the mismatched paint

Yea, but you guys have to realize that most casual observers won't even notice-unless it's waaay off.

Yea I know, but I've never had this problem with my other cars, so it's frustrating.

That is true. I honestly never noticed it until I read something about it on this forum. Now it's all bad!

I can live with it now. The rear A-spec piece seems to hide it quite a bit. Maybe I'm just used to it. Anyhoo... Since the car is a daily driver and dirty the majority of the time, the money to repaint them to match the car can be spent elsewhere (perhaps the black vinyl roof overlay, which by the way, has grown on me just recently).

Brother, your TL looks excellent-even with the color keyed mud guards. It's a lot better than the flat black ones!

I have flat black on mine's , they don't make the car look one bit worse. Just my opinion, which is they'll be left on till money for A-spec's become available.

looks good, I think I'm going to do this to my AM once it gets warmer out along w/ the front plate holder. Where did you get the paint from?

i ordered these from EBAY / acura dealer so they're pretty much OEM painted.
