Anyone know if the OEM FR-S mudflaps will fit with the factory bodykit?

Does OEM body kit sound better?

Installed mine OEM over the weekend. Take most of the time to understand and read the instructions, so unclear... The actual install is quick. Like 5 mins each after install the first one. I did not drill holes and they seems secure enough. I am still waiting for the lower body kit that I like then I will take down these mud guards.

Check with your dealership should be $59 at most. They'll give you instructions to install, you will need to take out the 2 back wheels to get the back mudflaps on. If you buy it from the dealership you got your car from you can ask them to install it, but I did my own so that I can be meticulous. I know someone says they found it in ebay for $49 so you can check there also.

A dealer installed mine for free, so I cant complain. It wasn't even the dealer I bought the vehicle from either.

pics of mine installed, took about a hour for all four including removing the rear wheels and drilling the 5/16 holes that each flap requires. I imagine you could get away without any drilling but I didn't want to cut corners and risk any movement/wiggling around.

The oem ones dont move at all if you follow the directions and use all the fasteners. I have a 17x8 wheel w 53 offset, 235 tire.. and you can see from the downward angle pics that the factory mudgaurds cover just about perfectly. If I had any wider/lower offset wheel on the car I'd seriously think about the RA flaps simply because they're adjustable and with a wide wheel/tire wouldn't look stupid. If you're still running the factory wheels or like I do, have a set of winters on the factory wheels.. the oem guards will work just fine. I figure for $60 shipped these will work perfect for me. I even managed to drive the car through a massive puddle today.. the pics were taken after I got home. Sure there's some water spotting, but no actual mud or debris on the car like the last time it rained. I'm pretty satisfied. If you get these do make sure you clean the installation area really well before you put them on. As mentioned on the first page, trapping grit in there will not do your paint any good. They dont move once in place but a quick cleaning is cheap insurance. |
