Pic Request: Mud Guards on FC's
 
Title is pretty self-explanitory. Just trying to get a good idea of how different mud guards ( non OEM ) look on FC's look installed. Thanks for the help.

Is that the G35 mudflaps installed on that FC ? And if so, what year model G35 ?

demon721 05-04-12 03:00 PM

its 2008 model g35

The g35 mud guards on that fc looks bad. If you take your time and have the proper items and paint them the same color as your car, they will end up looking nice and flush.

Heat gun
Super holding double sided tape
Drill bit set.

demon721 05-04-12 03:32 PM

no doubt about that. the whole car needs to get painted. but for right now it aint to bad i think. yes it does bug me that they are different in color but for now its not to bad.

I snagged some mudflaps off some misc trucks in the junkyard

Besides the color being a big too white and the one screw i didnt think they fit that bad, what is it you think could be better?

That silly screw is what kills it for me, other than that they look fine.

demon721 05-04-12 09:22 PM

and i thought about paintin the screw but i was like fuck it. kinda goes with the paint scheme black and white

demon721 05-04-12 10:07 PM

lol i was thinking the same thing on y no pic

The OEM mud guards look pretty decent... Painted and mounted with some proper mounting tape or adhesive, the G35 mud guards would look pretty damn good.

Already posted this pic once before but here it is again.

If you are looking for them they are called "G35 splash guards" I got mine new on ebay for ~60 bucks. I used a heat gun on low to fit them to the car but you could probably use a hair dryer, it doesn't take a lot heat. Two bolts on the front and 3M tape on the rest.

I also really like the OEM mud guards but sets are selling for 400 bucks on ebay which is just stupid...

sharingan 19 05-05-12 01:59 AM

Primos003: lookin good! Paint match looks perfect, how did you decide where to mount them height wise?

Exactly ! lol

Primos, looking very good and thanks for the info. Seems like the route mostly used is the G35 Splash guards, which personally is not a bad look at all.

Primos003 05-05-12 10:20 AM

I've had that pic of Mac's car as my phones wallpaper sense he posted it last year lol.

When I mounted them, I wanted to make sure that they would not be lower then the side of the car so I think I made the bottoms a half inch higher. And the color match is ok, its a little darker if you look closely.

Shine Auto sells some, but i've never seen them, i'm assuming RE is Amemiya style. Here's the quote from Shine's thread. "Spec-RE Rear aero mud guards. $150. Shipping is $25"

150 sounds like an awful lot, but if they look really good who knows. Anyone have pics?

Gracias for the link Absence. IMO the G35s look cleaner than the Shine ones, mainly because of the way that they're fitted, the Shine's kinda wrap around the bumper it looks like...

TheAbsence 05-20-12 03:34 PM

Shine ones are for s5's. I've yet to see a G35 splash guard on an s5.

GuiltySoul 05-20-12 09:55 PM

Anybody with oem or rally armor mud flaps?
