Unhappy Re: 2010 Prius Mud Flaps???

Add me to the list of frustrated 2010 Prius owners looking for mud flaps.

Our Gen II Prius has never had a problem with the tires spraying dirt on the fenders like my Gen III does. Too bad because I really love my new Prius otherwise.

All I got from the rep was an apology and a case number. (I think that did me about as much good as an investment in a lottery ticket!) Anyway, I sent a letter 2nd day snail-mail to Yuki Funo, CEO, Toyota Motor Sales USA this afternoon to express my displeasure. Who knows? Maybe Mr. Funo will put an end to this nonsense. Letters I've sent to CEO's have met with positive results on a few other occasions.
Wow you're really, really serious about the need for mud flaps!
Good luck!

I know this is an old tired thread - but I had to add in some pics - this is what it looks like when you drive on a newly paved road (our roads were re-surfaced) for 3 days!

Hopefully a pic is worth all those words

I've emailed dealers in Japan, tried Toy dealer websites all over the world - it is frustrating.....

I'm trying to get the UK dealer on Ebay to at minimum combine shipping to the US.........

Stay tuned...

The pics don't do it justice - it isn't gray - it's black!

Am I correct in understanding that this dealer has them or at least has access to them? And that they are OEM for at least part of Europe?

Could you provide a link to the UK dealer eBay store?

Thanks!

Yes, Yes, Yes
Goto eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace, and search Prius mud. They are the 2009on listing (2009+ for Europe is our 2010). I have asked about combined shipping - no response yet. I also am trying a few other avenues - I'll post on these once I get responses.

Cost is around $150 delivered (I'm hoping to get that down below $100)

I just sent PentagonSheffield an email enquiring as to the combined shipping cost for front and back mud flaps. I also asked what the cost would be for shipping 5 sets. Let's hope that there is some economies of scale in shipping across the pond!

If anyone (including me) ends up buying multiple sets for other interested parties in PC, make sure you take in to account the secondary shipping costs to distribute the bulk order before quoting the group a price!

I posted this elsewhere, but when I ordered my OEM body side moldings today from a Toyota dealership in Windsor, Canada, I asked the parts man about mud flaps. He told me that in the past he had filled orders for mud flaps from all over, including Germany and Belgium for a number of years. However, with the body change, he understood that Toyota in Canada would not be supplied with mud flaps any longer. (He was unaware that they were available in parts of Europe.)

Good luck - I also mailed them, and sent EBAY inquiries - but nothing back yet... That's why I'm trying Germany and Japan (and South Africa for what it's worth).

I'm trying to cost out 10 sets landed in California...
