OEM Stock mudguards painted ones have a bigger chance of chipping, scratching, etc.

The material of the splash guard is too flexible...there's no way paint will last as long as you want it to.

They are staying stock but I ask because most newer cars have them paintmatched and they look good, better than black.

i think Candyshop EK or something like that had them painted and i've always loved that car.

I think it depends on the car. If you have black accents, ie... door handels, moldings, skirts, mirrors, lip. leave them black, but if your entire car is painted. Paint them becaues they would look out of place unpainted. or dont use them at all.

you were just told way up above that the plastic used in our mudguards does not hold paint very well.


newer cars like maximas and lexus and **** are made froma diff plastic so they will hold it.


please save your money and time and leave them black. for the sake of your car and our honda world.
