Mud Flaps for Aussie Stingers

[Stinger GT SS]

For those of you that are interested, I have noted on eBay that you can buy mud flaps for the Stinger which are listed in US$ with horrendous shipping charges, they are a slimline type & not gawdy in my opinion.
Kia AU do not have these listed in the Stinger Accessories section of their website, but I was at my dealer today & can advise that they are available & details, prices quoted to me for supply only are as follows:

Front Set Part No. J5F46 AC100 @ AU$79.95 inc. GST
Rear Set Part No. J5F46 AC200 @ AU$79.95 inc. GST
Complete Set of 4 Part No. J5F46 AC000 @ AU$129.00 inc. GST

Those prices sound more than reasonable. Any pics of these?

Sorry, wasn't aware you couldn't take a related tangent in a forum. I thought the point was also being made about the cost of shipping things.

I bought this online from automotive touch paint, the pen is good quality & delivers well, just shake very well before use, hope this helps.

So what's the consensus on fitting mud flaps - a good look or not? Have considered but still unsure.
Kia originally listed Stinger mudflaps as an accessory on its website but took them off a month or so ago. I can't recall the cost.

Have look at mine....effective but subtle.

I think they look ok. I’m considering them but I don’t know if they’re necessary yet. It hasn’t rained here since I bought my Stinger nearly 3 months ago so I don’t know how much crud is going to be splashed up onto the car. I’ll reassess if we ever get rain. I’m not opposed to fitting them if they prove necessary.

 

[AV8R]

You can still get them from the dealership even though they are not on the website.

Have you fitted the mesh in the vents at front fender yet?

 

[OliverNuther]

No but I’ will be doing that also, irrespective of rain.
