gen 4 mud flaps / splash guards ordered from UK

Where did you order these mud flaps? How long did it take for you to get them? Do they look the same as Harter's mud flaps and he is in the UK? How flexible are they? Thanks.

 

Hi syncro87, I am also interested in that link. Can you tell me how they are described and are they hard? Thanks a lot. Newbie and I don't think the Toyota dealer would install these on the 2018 Prius Four. I don't want to order them and then can find nobody to install them. Got any ideas?

Sorry for the duplicate post.

I installed my own. No big deal.

 

My husband does not work on the car and besides we are "old folks".

 

@ADodds, We've had a string of Hondas over 3~4 decades. I believe our first came with mud flaps front and rear, and all the subsequent ones had mud flaps front-only, and I typically added rear.

Our 2010 Prius was our first Toyota, and the first vehicle that came stock with no mud flaps. I thought why not give it a try. Coming up on 8 years now: don't miss them. They snag on curbs and wheel stops, and in our climate/roads, whenever you pull them off you'll find great accumulations of sand and plant material, abraded body paint, not a good mix.

My 2 cents: they're a hassle, with no benefit, I would pass. Doubly so if you're thinking to pay someone to install them. And double again if you're not washing the car yourself, don't have the wherewithal to periodically remove them and see what lurks behind.

 

I got caught in trafic in a street repaving area... right after I washed the car. I drove through a lot of watery dirt and small rocks. I was dreading what I would find on each fender. Surprisingly, there was nothing. The Prius does a good job (somehow) of not kicking up that dirt on the fender.

You know where the dirt goes? On the inside, on the door sills! A black mess. Maybe that's why Honda has front mud flaps only.

 

Thanks Mendel and Starship 16 for responding!

 

Looks like they have changed the design, they look more square and not as big?

 

I don't if this is any help to anyone, but these are the splash guards that were installed on my Canadian Specification 2016 Prius from the factory.

 

They look like the European spec ones I bought on-line.
