    Every time I run through a small puddle I get splashing all up the sides of my car. Thinking of getting the mudguards but wanted to see if anyone had pic of how they look, really on any color, but mine is white.

    I don't think I would want to invest in getting them painted to match.

    Thanks, looks nice.

    Are those the standard ones, or the Euro ones? not sure the difference.

    Thank you. Those are Euro mud flaps from the PriusChat shop. As you can see, they are not very obvious. They do their job, however. The splashes on the side of the car come from other cars, not from my wheels.

    The Euro mud flaps appear to sit closer to the ground than the US ones. Our town is big on speed bumps. Have you have any issues with the mud flaps scrapping over these bumps in the road?

    No. I have crossed only a few speed bumps but they lift the car which also lifts the mud flaps.

    Note this red line is steeper than the angle of most speed bumps which means that the mud flaps are safe.
