I am struggling to find anyone who offers splash guards for the W463. I see the O/E MB guards and while I am okay with the look as it will just be for winter driving, I cannot get confirmation from the dealer that they will fit my 2018
G63. I am told that they are not an accessory and that due to the fact that my vehicle was not equipped with them, they don't show a correct application for me. I have to assume I can order the brackets and they will bolt-on, but I wonder if anyone here has tried that. I know they are not handsome, but I fear destroying my rear bumper as I have added 35" mud-terrain tires. Thanks in advance to anyone that can shed some light or knows of a solution.
On the bottom of page 2, the individual product pages show year ranges they apply to. Looks like there is a combo of front and rear mudflaps that will work with your 2018, but you can ask them.
Looks like the "Classic" rears will work with your 2018, and the standard fronts. Not sure why the "classic" fronts wouldn't work with your 2018 as it states they work for up to 2017's.
Check with them on shipping times also, as these most likely will be coming from Europe, and shipping times, as I've heard, have been severely disrupted for fourbyfour club shipments (think months)
Thank you. I did see those and I assume the model year is amiss due to the fact that the new body came out as a 2018 in most parts of the world. They sell the exact parts that we can buy from a MB dealer here, but the dealer, well two dealers actually, tell me that the part shows as not a correct fit, but that could be simply because it's not an accessory and my vehicle nor anyone's here, came with them. My hunch is they will fit if I order all of the brackets and mounts. That however is $400.00 and I would rather know for sure before pulling the trigger. I have to assume that someone here has gone down the same road as me with splash guards.
I suppose most of us would never install these truck looking mud flaps, so there is no accessory kit. I just want to use them for winter roads in my area as we use rocks to provide traction and it really destroys the paint finish.
Since you have 35 inch mud terrains, you'll probably find that OEM mudguards will hang too far inward of the truck and not provide much coverage. Especially if you have wheel spacers as well.
I ended up going generic and got a set of 4 universal mud flap brackets from Sharp Truck: Sharp Truck Universal Mounting Brackets
Not everyone's cup of tea I know, but they can be positioned just about anywhere to provide 100% coverage. And the price is reasonable, just add $20 rubber flaps from eBay or similar.
Here's mine, which have saved me from a lot of mud cleanup and stone damage:
Great looking G! I really like that one. Thanks for the input. That would be the most practical solution for sure. I learned that the reason the OE mats don't fit my vehicle is due to the fuel tank shield installed on US units. Hmmm. I wonder if I couldn't move the bracket over and attain more coverage as you mentioned.
