OEM Mud Flaps Unpainted

Hello guys I have a set of OEM mudflaps for my White TL and they are unpainted. Should I install them that way or paint them? If so what’s the cost on getting them painted?

i personally don't mind the contrast. Go to your nearby body shop and ask them for a quote

Yeah I was thinking the same thing it doesn’t look bad but these came with some odd scuffing. Don’t know if someone sanded them for painting. I got them off eBay. Said they were new and they came in a bag unopened.

i mean.. they're mud flaps, they're going to get mud on them


Complain to the seller and see if they can give you a partial refund

Just found out today my mudflaps came without the rear brackets. So basically I can’t install. The part isn’t sold by itself either.

The OEM ones are pre-pained.

08P00-TK4-XXX1 | Acura Splash Guards (TL) - Bernardi Parts

I would try to get a refund and return item.

Definitely try to return. There is a guy on ebay, can't remember his alias, and he has all kinds of new set of 4 w/ hardware, genuine Acura flaps, many colors. I believe white was one of the colors offered, and I also believe they were all under $100. Some colors more expensive than others.

Hey thanks but I got the Chinese who only wanted to give me $6 in a refund which I took instead of paying to have them shipped back. Do you have any clue of this guy on Ebays’ name? I’ve looked for these white mudflaps from various dealers online only to find discontinued in this color.

Sorry about your seller. The seller I was talking about is going to make a liar out of me. He has quite a few colors, and they are all under $100. But yours are $100. The ebay alias is Hammysauto. Hope this helps.

I’ve been eying his set for awhile but haven’t pulled the trigger because they are for the 2009-2011 Acura TL and I’m not sure if they would fit my 2013.

Sorry about that, I didn't even notice that they didn't fit all 4G's. To be honest I thought 9-14 were all the same. Hey, I found a set at Bernardiparts.com for $120. This is the # I looked up, 08P00-TK4-230B. Pretty sure that's you. I found a few places that looked like they might actually have them in stock. Don't know if they all have them or not. But I would give them a try one at a time until you find a set. Good luck!

No worries, I get it, and they do help with the rocks. Hope it all works out for you. By the way, if you haven't install flaps before, these are really easy. If your on the clock, a half hour install is totally doable.
