Mud Guards / Flaps
Does anyone have Mud Guards installed on their GLS? I have a GLS450 and was looking to get some mud guards since I noticed the wheel wells getting very dirty with mud. I haven't been able to find any OEM ones. Let me know what you have?

Mud guards will will not protect the wheel wells from getting muddy.
No matter what you do your wells will get muddy if you go over mud.

The mud guards will only insulate the rear bottom of your fender panels.

I bought a set on eBay for around $40, fits perfect, no drilling. Not the best quality but it works.

Joel,

Does not look like the wheel well of an X167. It has no extended lip. Is yours a 2019 or older GLS?
