Thanks!!!

All RX330's don't come with the mudguards. You either installed it yourself or have the dealer installed it for you. By the way, my Lexus Dealer wanted $200 (labor) to install the mudguards plus the cost of the mudguards. $135. $200+$135 = $335.

I only spent $88.

Cut left on the RX300 paint after 50K miles., front driver side

RX300 has plastic molding so cuts are mild , 2nd generation Acura TL owners find Honda's mudguards cut paint to the metal.
Here is second picture on front passenger side.

TunedRX300,

That's looks terrible! On the RX330 the mudguard doesn't touch much of the car's paint as do the Rx300.

Ok...here is the picture from behind.

I will try to use 3M rubbing compound to buff most of the cut marks. Bought a small roll of 3m clear bra off ebay and put them under the mudguards, I would suggest you to do the same since mudguards will cover a little of RX330's metal paint area up front and on rear bumper.

I wonder if the standard 300 mud guards do this to the paint? I'll try to peal mine pack and check.

They seems ok, just a fine line of dirt there so far.

I wonder if that is due to the softer paint of late. I had mudgards on my Legend for years and it never did that to the paint. I've removed it many times during my ownership to clean and wax and polish so I did check the area a few times a year. I've noticed the paint on the cars nowdays are very soft compared to early mid 90s and before.

Yeah...I guess it doesn't hurt to put some of that 3M clear bra. Good idea....

I do have the 3M clear bra on the hood, front bumper, side mirrors and side panel.

They are cuts, not dirt. I just washed my car before I took those pictures. I am not sure it is the soft paint but if mudguards have flat edges, paint should not be cut.

The picture that was recently posted of the rear mudguard.....
The single screw inserted from the bottom looks totally out of place. It sticks out like a sore thumb.

Does anyone else agree?

Tuned, yes, whether paint or the plastic.
