Or look for them on ebay! or in the for sale sections here and at Sc3 and at toyotanation! They don't need to be matching your color for you to buy them...as you can always repaint them...Repainting using flexi paint costs close to $40 bucks (i did it on my camry before she got her kit...and for 6 years, they still look GREAT).

The color code for the Red Flame Metalic is 3N5. I trashed mine when I had my TRD body kit installed. I would've given them to you. :( -JoeB

1. Do the mud guard easy to install by myself? ('cause I don't have any tools to jack up my car)
2. If I purchase from my local toyota dealer, will they install it for me for free?
3. You mean $85 for 1 mud guard, a pair or four of them?

Thanks for answering these questions.

1. They are easy to install, you need a screw driver. You dont have to jack up your car.
2. They could install them for you, but why pay for a service you can do yourself.
3. $85 for one mud guard. So if you want four its ($85 x 4 = $340)

:D expensive huh? "F*$%& Yeah!" Thats what I said when I tried to buy them.

i got mine for 25 shipped and painted for free. i was really lucky. install is as easy as 1 2 3. good luck finding them, be patient. 340 is not worth it at all.

Are you talking about the painted ones or unpainted mudgaurds?
The painted mudguards (to match your car) are $85 a piece.
Toyota sells another type of Mudguard which are not-painted and are black, and sold for cheaper (around $20 a piece).

Thanks for you guys. I think I'll buy the black ones , paint and install it by myself. 'Money' is the most important factor for me to make this decision.

I hate my mud guards only because they rubbed the paint off of my car and now I can never take them off. But having the mud guards on do protect rocks and mud from coming up and hitting your car, I am repainting the bottom of the car and they will be off of there.
