Default Splash Guards

Hello;

My first post; am picking up my RX on Saturday.

Want to install splash guards but cannot find a price much better than dealer list anywhere. Would someone here know of an accessory site that carries splashguards?

Here's a current eBay auction $88/set. I've been mulling over this one and for now have decided not to run them. More of a cosmetic decision than anything else.

Thanks for the feedback, but here in Canada, list is $99.00. $88.00 US plus shipping will end up being more than list.

Anyone else have any site ideas?

Really? That's far cheaper than I've found them anywhere. I say buy 'em. In fact, how about you buy a bunch and sell them to us?

I got mine from irontoad, too. And I also have bought stuff from Sewell. Both places are great, fast delivery. However, I like the new website of Sewell.

FYI - I placed my first Irontoad order this morning. Incredibly quick service and great pricing...I will definitely be buying more from them.

I looked at both their pricing (irontoad and sewell) and some components are cheaper from one than the other. I took best options and went with 2 orders. Happy with the results. Shipping was fast. Orders were accurately filled. Packaging was great. So far happy.

Thumbs up Best deal!

Thanks for all you replies, but when I picked up the car on Friday, the dealer had installed them...no charge!

Tells me one of 2 things; either they are decent folks who appreciate my business or I left wayyyy too much on the table. Also gave me a voucher for $100.00 worth of goodies from their display cabinet (mugs, pens, shirts, etc.). Wife will be going in this week for "training" and she'll likely spend that and more (LOL).

Ok, they had a sizable fortune of profit in the deal, but do not feel bad...you happy right?

They were definitely nice about it, but this is at most a 10-minute job. The service is something you'd expect from owning a premium brand.

The vouchers are definitely a nice touch. They gave us one as well when we bought the RX. They jokingly called it a 'finder's fee' for my wife since she bought her ES only a couple of months ago.

Nonetheless, great to hear they took care of you.
