Varies by shop... Probably not expensive at all, most problem you'd get is that it'll take time for it to dry before they can install the mud-guards on. Just don't do it at a dealership unless you don't mind the huge price difference.

I bought mine on eBay for real cheap and only put the front ones on. And untill I saw this thread I forgot I even had them!

Argument stands strong, Mud-Guards are practical.

Exactly. I was getting scratches back there and now that the front guards are on. none. I didn't put on the rear yet. or probably ever.

I can't see them in that picture, but okay. I'm thinking of only having them on the front, since I noticed the rear side of the car doesn't get much debris. Please advise and tell me your experiences.

Thanks,
Tim

Are your mudguards from Toyota? Your mudguards are barely visible... Show more pictures of angles where you can see the mudguards please.

Thanks,
Tim

the mudguards arent supposed to be easily visible. thats why i like them and why i prefer to keep them black.
they are genuine toyota parts. i got them for $30 + shipping from www.mcgeorgeparts.com

picture from their site.
