Prius Mudguards?

DreamcastDC · 06-28-2007, 03:34 AM

I was wondering if the these Mudguards for the Prius require drilling?

Yes. But only into plastic. Unless you don't mind crooked screws, you also have to remove the rear wheels to drill the backs. The front wheels can be turned enough to not need removal.

Very easy to install. 20 minutes top if you are using a floor jack.

Yes to drilling.... into plastic as mentioned. But don't worry about it being reversible. The mudguards look nice when they're on and no reason to take them off again. I got tired of spray up the side of my lovely clean car if I hit anything remotely wet. I'm very glad I put them on.

Hmmm. What about when they get old, brittle, and start to crack, split, and pieces start falling off.

Sorta like me.

Then time for a face lift! Start a rainy day fund now.

The holes needed are not in an awful spot, so if you choose to (or are forced to) remove the mud guards at any point, you could probably get away with leaving the holes as they are... You could also plug them with epoxy or something if you're worried about water/muck getting in there. They'd be barely noticeable unless you're looking for them.

Put the fasteners back in the holes after removing the mudguards and they are plugged and invisible.

the mudguards are always a good addon for car, especially in wet climates. Here in neveda dont normally need them, but they are nice for wet puddles and for keeping small rocks from making scracths accros bottom fenders

I got my yesterday and installed them right away. Took me 20 mins with a floor jack... Very easy install. Makes the car look nice!
