[NWFRS]

I installed the OE mudguards on my base FR-S.

Living in northwestern Washington, my dark car was looking pretty dirty behind the wheel arches from driving in the rain. It's noticeably less severe since I had them installed. I also think they look very well integrated on these cars.

The OE mudguards are one of only a few cosmetic mods I have. I also removed the "FR-S" badge from my trunk lid, replaced the long-ass radio antenna with a 2" Perrin and swapped out my amber side-markers for OE JDM clears.

Like someone else already said, you'll want to clean the fenders well before you install them to avoid grinding extra dirt into your clearcoat. You'll want to have a nice low profile jack ready also, they advise removing the wheels to avoid cursing while you drill holes and fasten screws into your wheel arch linings.

I really like mine though. I think the car looks more "finished".
