Mudguards Yay or Nay
 

For those who have mud guards on their TCH, do they work?

I had mud guards on my previous car (98 Accord Coupe) and they made no difference.

Hmm Also interested. I have fronts on my 99 VW Golf and they do help quite a bit...we didn't get them on the Camry yet but I was thinking about it.

It was a no brainer for me as they are standard equip. on Camry's here. I've had them on my Sienna for the past 3 yrs and they do a fairly decent job. The ones on the Camry are similar in design, a bit smaller of course but about the same distance to the road. I'll imagine they will also be reasonably decent. I would have asked for them if it was optional.

I'll add that they are pretty tough material. My wife curbed the Sienna on the back once and the mudflap took the full force. But rather than break it popped the lower plastic panel/bumper it was attached to right out of it's mounting clips. Fortunately a shove and the panel popped back into place. One of the front flaps also took a major impact during a crawl down a very rocky road to a cottage. It got scraped deeply but held it's ground.

Does anyone have a picture with their camry and mud flaps...? They don't appear to be same as the body color though....wish they were.... Thanks!

I get mud guards on every car I have owned, there is still some stuff that gets on, but it is far less than without them. One advantage with SE Toyota port cars is they offer color matched mud guards.

Mudguard installation not for the faint of heart
 

I got the Mudguards and they DO help. Not from everything, but enough to justify them. Please keep in mind there is a 1 hour labor charge to install them. I did them myself, but had to wait a week until I got the courage to actually DRILL at hole (nearly 1/4") into the rear panel. This panel is made of plastic and the hole was drilled in less than 3 seconds. Not too bad overall. But I wish Toyota made the TCH more like the Accord (relative to mudguards) as all you have to do on the Accord is remove a "dummy" screw and replace it with the one that comes with the mud flaps.

Mudguards? Too ugly. Avoid puddles.

Easy for you to say living in CA. Try snowy New England. Anything to keep salted sand off you car is good.

Are they black or color matched....? Thanks
