Because they'd be two years old, might leave a mark on the car, wouldn't have the original sticky, and don't cost all that much? If they were so expensive that I wouldn't leave them on the car, I wouldn't put them on the car in the first place

I really want mudflaps, but those are horribly expensive.

I wonder what the deal is with parts prices in other countries? I think the mud flaps cost about $74 for a pair in the U.S. I read on the Canada regional forum that some of them were paying as much as $700+ CDN for the front air dam. I can't imagine what the MS kits cost there.

IIRC the mudflaps are £130 or so here. $74 would be about £48, and I'd pay that right away.

The list price of the air dam is over 700. No one I know would pay that. We just order from the States. Like my silver strakes from RX8strakes.com (US$80) or my clear corners with stealth bulbs (US$70) Free trade is a good thing...

Everyone has their own opinion, but I like the chrome strakes and the chrome grill. Chrome makes your car go faster...ha,ha,ha.

Bought them on ebay from a guy in the UK. He really did an awesome job on them. How do they look?

It's your car.. do whatever it is you like.
Peronally i feel chrome belongs on a cadillac, and looks hideous on an RX. Just my opinion.
