05ES330 Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 I just picked up a 05 ES 330, this site has been great and actually part of my purchase decision. I realize this topic has come up, but it really bugs me how everything on the road ends up on the side of the car. I was wondering if anyone had even a custom solution.
SW03ES Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 Welcome to the LOC! As far as I know there aren't any custom mudguards availiable for the ES, no idea why but there don't seem to be any.

Take a closer look at the body style whereby the lower panels do not curve inward like the older body style. Not much road debris, if at all ends up on the body. I initially thought the same, however I'm convinced its not necessary to have mud guards, unless its for cosmetic reasons.

I'm personally not aware of any 'Lexus' mudguards available for the ES model, but perhaps some dealers offer something in their parts departments that differ from dealer to dealer. Give a few of them a call to ask. If your intrested in rust-proofing at all.....let me know as well. I know the BEST guy in the provience. B)

B) ← I'm from Burlington but purchased the car at Ken Shaw in Toronto. I wanted a white Special Edition, a hard colour combination to get. Ken Shaw had a deal go south on one and now had one in stock. I have always found it easer to negotiate wile the car is in stock. So with the combination of very few white ES's and Oakville’s lack of wiliness to negotiate I went with Ken Shaw.

He is also the president of the Toronto Automobile dealers Assoc & with his 'title' also has a weekly column in the Toronto Star 'Wheels' section. B) Best of Luck with your new ES. One question however.......How much off did Ken Shaw give you compared to Lexus of Oakville?
SW03ES Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 My ES gets COVERED in road debris. The fact that the panels aren't curved inward just means the dirt goes all over the entire panel instead of being kept to the bottom. I can definately see the desire for mud guards.
