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.

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.

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?

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...

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.

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...
