Default Mud flaps

I have a 2023 IS 350. I have spacers on the car and I've already gotten a few scratches, possibly from rocks kicking up. Not sure if it's because of the tires sticking out a little farther but I would rather be safe than sorry. Can anyone recommend a good pair? I've been on Amazon but can't find a pair that matches.

Search this forum, IIRC someone made/modified some and posted the pattern he used.

Its a shame that there isnt a model specific area formed mud flap. Not talking WRC type..but a small enough one that could address road sling.

Would the NIA (or similar) body kit rear piece help?

This^^^. Just purchased a 2024 IS 350 F Sport and surprised no model specific mud flaps/guards out there. I’ll check out the ones on Amazon. Thanks.

I got some precut ppf from Lamin-x. It protects right where the impact occurs behind the rear tires.

Any chance you could show some pics of both front and rear application?

Any success in finding some workable mud flaps?

I have been eyeing these flaps from Vicrez. Its a shame that for the price they don't come per-drilled though.

Random question; do you have to drill new holes into your fender to install flaps? Or do they use existing holes?

You can use the existing holes on the fender, no drilling on the car required.
