Default 2022 ES300h mud guards

Just installed the mud guards I have moonbeams ext but wanted a little darker so I got either atomic silver so some silver like that perfect fit took an hour includes oil change and a tire rotation and Balance car has 2122 miles with no instructions.
( since the shop is very busy I got it all done at the same time ) labor was $110 plus $5 tip

get oem oil filter and gasket 10 pieces )
ebay Toyota dealership seller $64 buck shipped
got also on eBay Mobil 1 0w-16 3- pack 5 quarts for $90 shipped

Mud guard was like $50 from China ebay came painted to the color I ask for 2/5 weeks
came with all the screw and tools and instructions but beer feel on it so that got thrown away

Just wanted a little contrast but it’s definitely lighter in person which I can live with to me it looks better in pictures can’t complain no more dirty whatever after a big rain storm.




These will fit 2019-2023

So glad to read this! I've called several Lexus dealerships in search of mud guards. Parts guys said none made for my Atomic Silver 2021 ES 350. I was afraid to buy a none Lexus OEM item and also concerned about the drilling issue. What's the name of the company for my order and the name of their version of Atomic Silver? Thanks again for posting!

The ES doesn't kick up the usual muck in those areas.

The fronts fit into existing fender holes. The rears require drilling but it's into the plastic rear quarter... no rust issues. I went and bought stainless screws so no rusting...

Those are going to scratch the paint on the side of the car because dirt will get between the car and the mud guard. They look very ugly and do basically nothing. You'd be better off installing black generic flat mud flaps.

When I bought my 2002 3-Series, it had mudguard scars on the back bumper, both sides after I removed them. The guards cut into the paint over years of sitting there. I'd probably carefully apply some PPF or other vinyl in between if i was going to install mud guards.

our tires don't really stick out so not much dirt gets there.

Thanks for your experience/thoughts. Actually, I'm interested in them only for appearance. My car's never (rarely) around any dirt or mud, etc.

Skip it if it's for appearance IMO. Car looks better without them.
