Picture request - OEM splash guard rear shot

[sbkim]

Anyone have pictures of rear OEM splash guard from behind? I seem to recall having splash guards make the car slightly wider in the back but the rear wheels appear to be stuck in more. I guess spacers could fix that look but was curious how it looked.

Thanks

Here is a pick somebody posted to another thread. They are a bit like dumbo ears, but with out them, the backside of our CX-5 was constantly covered in muck, so I added them.

How easy are they to install?

Very easy; can do on ground level (no jacking up) and without taking tire off.

Do they clip on, or is drilling involved?

I'm still torn if I want to get the OEM splash guards or not. I'm glad to hear people say that it hasn't effected MPG at all, same with roof rails, but splash guards aren't as helpful on SUV's as trucks. The front ones are small and rears help more the car behind you than your own car. I still kind of want them though lol.

Thanks so much for the picts!

That was my shot and "dumbo ears" are really a good description for them! But since they are wide and they definitely serve the purpose well!

Here are a couple of side shots which may help you to decide:

They screw on. But for rear, some cutting on plastic trim is involved.

yrwei52- thanks. Picts are worth 1000 words. Looks great from the side. Just wished the rear wheels had a bit more aggressive offset or perhaps wider.
