    Ordered a set of mud guards this morning $98.95 and a 2 day lead time. I was quoted $94 for install hahahaha!
    That's the sweet part about being a real handyman. Saving 94$ to get some real good beer and really expensive potato chips to treat yourself as you install your brand new mudflaps. Be careful not to install the back ones in the front etc... Please post some pictures when it's all done!

    I'd be interested in the rear gaurds photos and mounting process when they come in...
    I got the ones off aliexpress for about $25 shipped...the fronts are bolt on with the clips currently in the car, the rear are in need of some trimming and drilling...haven't decided the best approach...

    I almost ordered some from aliexpress knowing that it was K13 pre facelift and I'd have to trim. I will try and get pictures as I go (if I remember)

    Ya, i couldn't justify $100 for mud flaps when i could get them for 25. the front were perfect, the back will work, and didn't really need them quick either...front do all the damage, back are cosmetic.

    I had never dealt with Aliexpress before and I've had bad luck with duties in the past. I remembered I had received a coupon from Nissan that's still in date so I'll at least get 10% off. I'm hoping the nissan ones will be a hard plastic as I plan to shoot them gloss black.

    I've used them for lots of things..as long as you are not in a rush, they are great..free delivery can be over a month.
    i've never had taxes or duty from them.
    Broker/taxes and duty usually happen on UPS, FedEx, DHL, etc...if you still with USPS, CAN POST, China Mail, etc..you are fine in most cases.

    They arrived today, a pretty complete kit! I may have time this weekend to put them on, but not sure yet

    My mudflaps cost me a whopping ten dollars. Went to a plastics shop, picked up 4'x8' sheet of UHMW plastic in black, cut to shape, and riveted it to the wheel arches. I've got enough left over for about 8 more mudflaps if I ever need a replacement. Rally Armor can pog ma thoin. lol

    Where do you get the coupons from?
