Has anybody gotten the front and rear splash guards on their 2017 or 2018 CX-5? I am considering getting them but can't really find any good pics on how they look.


Thank you,

Here's some pics of the splash guards installed.

That is nice. Hope they've made a difference.
I'm about to install mine on my Mazda3 and still looking for pics on the web of the installation process. Seems the fronts are a piece of cake and the rears require cutting out a spot to fit the hardware.
 
If you are getting the oem ones they come with detailed instructions.
on the cx5 yes there is a small cut for the rear ones. Actually the rear takes less time.

Yes cz5gt I have the instructions but I don't think they're great, they could have done a better job. I'm always surprised that after all the engineering and design of a product that a user would hate to screw up on the instructions are made second rate. In my years in the engineering field I would never sign off on this, even if it was intended for just the mechanics.

On the Mazda 3, specifically my years' line, the fronts are supposedly easy and common sense and the rears require cutting the plastic. I just don't know what to expect with that part, its thickness or ease of cutting and hoping not to get stuck fixing a mess.
 
I recently bought front and rear splash guards for $40 on Amazon. Here is the link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/ (commissions earned)

I don’t know how these guards compare to the OEM ones, as I have not seen any OEM guards. The ones from Amazon fit very well and appear to be of good quality. The rear guards were easy to put on after taking off the tires - maybe 10 minutes each. No trimming or cutting is needed. The front ones are a little more difficult due to the need to finagle a fastener to hold the bottom of the guard to the plastic trim at the bottom of the wheel well. Be innovative! Warning - Do not attempt to fasten top of the front guards to the wheel well. You’ll drill through metal setting up a place for rust to get started. The guards fit tight enough that the top mounting is unneeded.

Here are front and back pictures of mine:

Those look good. Nicely done P-51 Lover. I was driving next to a CX5 yesterday that had mud guards, looked pretty decent. My understanding is that on the Mazda3 the setup is a bit different so I expect to have a bit more work on the rears and apparently pretty simple on the fronts. Still waiting for a warm, dry, free day to get my project on.
Thanks for posting.
