I have a set of these on the way. I think they are on a slow boat from Japan, but they'll make it here eventually.

Yes, they showed up last Friday. I haven't had the time to get them put on yet though.. Here is a quick picture of them:



I can't wait to get them installed - I may get some time tomorrow to do it. I sure hope they help - between the snow, and the mud from road construction near me, my xB2 has had some filthy sides.

Good luck! BTW folks, a more professional version of my instructions should now be included with all mudflaps purchased from Carson Toyota!

Okay - got them installed finally. Took me about an hour - and most of that was making sure I was drilling the holes in the correct place on the rear. Very easy install overall. I really hope they help out - the real test will come when I put the TRD 19s back on this spring. Here are a couple pics:

Front:



Rear:



Overall side:



Thanks again to Bigfieroman for the DIY write-up.

They look good! How many holes did you drill on the rears? Do you need to drill any holes for the fronts?

You don't have to drill any holes in the front, but have to drill three on each side for the rear. If you read through Bigfieromans DIY on the first page, you will see that two of the three holes on each side of the rear are marked with small "protrusions" that indicate where you need to drill. For the bottom hole you can just hold the splash guard up as a template to find the proper location.

those mud guards are crazy expensive, but they look really nice. awesome blend of function and form. i might have to scoop up a set for myself soon. i am so sick and tired of getting dirt kicked up all over my car.

Well, no, not if you have an angle drill, but it takes SECONDS to jack it up...and it gives you much more clearance.
