Any suggestion on Mud flaps?
I don't see any mud flaps are available for IS. Does Lexus actually make one?
Any aftermarket mud flaps are available?
More importantly, how do they look on the car?

Basically, I want something bigger to reduce small rock and dirt hitting the side or body.
I used to have a big mud flap on my Impreza. It enhance the look of rally cars, but I don't think it is the same case on luxury cars. It is very sad that Lexus hasn't made one available yet.

The fit was a lot better than expected.
No big gaps, they are mounted pretty tight in place, so they won't move or fall of.
The front one used one of the original screws and on aftermarket screw, into a stock clip. Just had to remove one part of the clip to make room for the screw.
The rear ones uses one clip underneith, stock clip.
One hole has to be drilled into the plastic rear bumper, to attach the mudflap to the bumper with aftermarked screw and slip.
And the last hole on the rear alligns with another stock clip, that also uses a screw into the clip to mount it in place.
All aftermarket screws and clips comes with the mudflaps.
I'll se about taking som more photos, close ups, to show.
(my reason for mounting the mud flaps is the terrible winters we have. They use a lot of salt that winds up on the side of the car, combined with a lot of gravel they use to make ice less slippery, the gravel almost sand blasts the lower portions of my rear bumper and side skrits.)

They are plastic, but a bit soft. Soft enough to ble flexible. But not rubber soft.
A few visable gaps under the car, but nothing noticable unless you lay down and look underneith.
