I have 2003 e320 with sport package and would like to know if it is ok to install mudflaps and how it would look like?

I would look into some sort of StoneGuard type of coating for the lower sills if you are worried about stone chips. I just figure I'll set aside a few bucks in 3 or 4 years and have the front end repainted along with the lower rocker panels if they need it. I just don't think mud flaps will look good on our cars. Good luck!!

Personally I prefer the one with Yosemite Sam that say BACK OFF!!!!

I installed the MBZ mud flaps on all 4 locations, after 2K miles of wet winter driving. I think they look good and certainly keep the road grime to a minimum. Prior to having mud flaps, I had road crap slash all the way up to the outside mirrors, not to mention the door panels and handles. The black color blends with the wheel wells no looks like natural extension. Installation took less than 1 hour.
Good Luck.

Depending on the "design" of the MB mudflap and the color of your car, they can look ok. I just ordered some clear bra material from stongard and will go that route.

Did you have the dealer install the flaps? What was the price of the flaps and the install?

Ed,
Cost was $46 for front and $46 for rear set. I installed myself, and used electric drill. Had to remove rear tires for access, but was able to rotate front tires via steering for access. Was pretty straight forward, and kit came with instructions.

Paperwork doesn't say which pn is front and rear.

thanks.

I was going to buy and install them myself as there always appear to a great deal of dirt/brake dust coming from the wheel wells.

I wasn't too thrilled when I read that briar had to use a drill.

briar, was it difficult to drill whatever holes you had to?

briar

Drill was used to insert self tapping screws into the wheel well. No intrusion into sheetmetal or body.
In other words, you can remove screws and ther is minimal damage
Car is rather dirty now, will post pictures for all once I have chance to clean up my favorite ride.
