The new rattle I was refering to was the one the OP is dealing with, its new to him since his repair....

Yep mine is all loose and rattley too. I can't wait to hear what this thing sounds like when I get the sub enclosure in the trunk. I'm sure I'll spend weeks with foam tape and extra hardware finding rattles in this thing. It's definitely not up to the Toyota build standard norm from what I've noticed so far...

Really? That sounds odd. I live in Canada and when I went to look at the FR-S's, they only had one there and it didn't have the mud guards...does it have anything to do with the fact that it has the 5 axis kit on it?

Something tells me the past few posts are a little fishy...

That's weird...I saw a few other threads where some of the members on here were looking for mudguards in GTA. I thought that was odd because I used to think mud guards were standard in Canada...

Standard for most if not all FR-S... BRZ does not come with them.

Oh, that makes sense. The other thread must have been about BRZ's in GTA, then.

Normal I have the same issue lol

MyRx · 04-22-2013, 02:10 AM

Mudguards. I bought a set of OEM pushpins and they came with OEM mudguards. No instructions tho but when you line up the holes on the rear fender and the mudguards, perfect match.

Trobinson · 05-29-2013, 08:06 AM

Okay phew so ya I noticed the holes today in the rear wheel wells that look like they should have screws in them. However that area behind the rear wheels feels pretty loose. Is that normal too? Just picked up the car last week.

As others have already said, they're meant for mudguards.

I took a closer look and there's no point to bothering trying to put plastic fasteners in it to secure it better - the black plastic wheel well liner does not even have holes that line up, it just has ~1/2" square notches in it around where the holes are, so any fastener you did put in would have nothing to grip.

It might be worthwhile if you find dirt or water accumulating inside the bumper cover, but anything you put in there will only attach to the bumper cover itself.
