tonybui, yes, I have seen them both with and without. In 2009 most cars I saw didn't have them. Now, every car I see has them, and, every car my dealer looked up on his search program had them. The car doesn't look "bad" with them, I just prefer it without them. I guess that even as good as they are styled, to me it's still mud flaps on a sports car.

MacCool, not so, at least not anymore. They may be dealer installed if a car doesn't come with them, but they are a "factory installed" option. Check out the website and you'll see. The cars are arriving at the dealers with them already on. One dealer told me they actually put them on in California when the cars arrive there. Another said the same, and that in California they just install them unless you specify otherwise. Some of his cars came with them even though they ordered them without. Another dealer told me they "had" to order them because the allocation they got demanded it. I know I can't trust everything a dealer says, but since basically every car on the dealer inventory list within 500 miles of here has them, it's either being done at the factory or California. And I know for a fact allocations can in fact demand such things, so that may be possible too.

Thanks for the diagram. So it does involve drilling and punching holes and taping to install them. Just what I was wondering. Thanks.

azn370z, so it wasn't hard eh? Tape came right off? But you still have some extra holes that weren't there before. Although,those holes are all into plastic right, not steel? So even though you are making a hole in the paint underneath, it won't rust or anything. After you removed them, did you just put the screws back in so they looked like they belonged? Sounds like this might not be too bad a deal.

Thanks everyone for your quick answers!
