Front mud guards
 
Hello everyone, im looking to purchase mud guards from another user here painted in my color but he doesnt have any of the mounting hardware, do any of you guys know specifically what is needed to mount them?

Double sided tape, plastic push pins. Also you will need to cut the rock guard under each rocker panel.

I think there are a couple of machine screws as well.....They screw into little plastic blocks that are in some of the holes

I might just feel safer ordering from mazda and i get the mounting hardware and everything, what do you guys think?

Just the hardware's are cheap anyway, so you could just get them from the Mazda dealership.

bought the front pair from Mazda for my 40th anniversary edition. You could just shop around online, some dealers and Mazda parts folks have them for much cheaper prices. That way you get the right color and hardware. They are not hard to install, just a few minutes each.

^ +1 that's what I would do

Maybe pay a little more, but worth the time and less aggravation
They aren't an expensive accessory

You should be able to tell right away that those are not Metro Grey. They look like Galaxy Grey. Put it up against your car and see the difference. Your color has a lot more blue in it.

Here's a good source for Mazda Body parts cheap. Email him with paint code 36C Metro Grey and see if he has them.

^Do a search on that ebay seller. Lots of people had paint issues using their parts. No idea if they ever resolved their paint process.
