Front Splash Guard/Mud Flap?

sloboi · 04-18-2012, 03:05 PM

Hello friends, I seem to have ripped the front passenger splash guards that sit in front of the wheels, as it is now hanging to one side. I called my dealership, and was quoted ~$80 to get it replaced, but it sounded a little steep for a piece of rubber. I can't seem to find it online anywhere, and keep getting the splash guards that sit behind the wheel. Anyone know of aftermarket, or a cheap OEM supplier that sells these? Thanks!

sloboi- that small flap (deflector) forward of the front tires are there only to reduce drag from the spinning tires to improve fuel economy. it's mounted with 3 bolts each. you can remove them completely and you will probably never notice a difference.

post up a WTB in the foresale section. im sure there are folks that installed aftermarket front lip spoilers/splitters that are no longer using them.

GL!

sloboi's talking about the wind deflector for the front tires, not the splash guards.
