Before / After
Customers praised these splash guards as "superior to OEM" with significantly thicker, more durable material providing better coverage. Installation is straightforward with clear instructions and extra fasteners included. Shoppers noted "perfect fit" and excellent value. Minor concerns included occasional fastener bending and one tight hole requiring adjustment.
- Perfect fit, simple install. Much higher quality than factory guards, better coverage.
- Fit exactly right, and are better than the originals. Awesome product!
- The quality of the material is very strong and flexible at the same time.
The rubber is significantly thicker than the original splash guards, which feels more durable. The clips attached securely, the installation instructions were clear and easy to follow, and the overall installation was quick and straightforward.
My '07 4Runner was missing the splash shields when I bought it. I wanted to keep mud and debris out of the engine bay and these seemed like the best solution. Fitment was perfect, I like how thick they are, and I appreciate that they came with new fasteners since every single one of mine broke.
The splash guards are heavy duty and fit perfectly on my 04 4Runner sport stock suspension. It’s a quick and easy install when following the directions to the T (Follow the steps on fastening the splash guards to the wheel wells in order exactly). Fantastic Product.
Great product. It guards everything, the material feels strong and long lasting.
Awesome product. Fit is perfect, and they look great. Super easy to install as well. Very pleased to have replaced the disintegrating and flimsy stock guards. Worth every penny!
Fit perfectly on my 08 Urban Runner. I did drill out the pre marked hole in the guards and use them. Easy install. Follow the directions and it goes easily and you have a little play to adjust for hole alignment. Did enlarge the smaller holes by the springs a tiny bit to get the pins in. Used a fine tip paint marker to color in the letters for just pop of color. Happy with the purchase and installation. Considering mud flap deletes now.
Overall very happy. Much thicker and better coverage than OEM. Two minor points. The guards are now cut in two pieces and joined. Not an issue and I'm sure helps reduce waste with the sheet material. Need to update your pictures on the web site. There was one hole by the coil spring on my 2004 4Runner that seemed smaller, and I could not get the pin to insert. Trying a zip tie. I was able to install without taking the wheels off. Just turned them hard right then hard left.
Great fitment, the quality of the material is very strong and flexible at the same time. I've been running my 4runner without the factory shields and I was always looking for something that would be fit and I found this product through one of the 4runner forums in Facebook and I decided to try it. No disappointment at all.
These splash guards are a perfect fit, and simple install. Much higher quality than the factory guards, and better coverage. A great upgrade to cracking factory guards.
Easy to install, thick material, fits well, and best of all came with more clips than required to get the job done.I ruined 3 of them and still had enough to finish installing.
Recently replaced the completely deteriorated splash guards on my 2008 4Runner. After shopping around extensively and reading horrible reviews of other products, I went with ARK. Don't mess with the other cheaper knock offs. These arrive quickly, fit exactly right, and are better than the originals. Awesome product!
Materials of construction are superior to OEM. Definitely an upgrade and look great.
I just used that little pry bar that comes with all of the interior tools to remove the plugs left from my non existent OE guards. Even with the “help” of my kids it took maybe 30 minutes. My only request is maybe adding a couple more fasteners. It’s possible to bend and twist the provided ones and have to search for alternates.
Highly recommend. Way better than the OEM ones.
Easy installation! The mud flap delete in the rear looks great too, moar tire! The old splash guards were completely gone so it's nice to have some protection up front. For less than 200.00 bucks, splash guards and mud flap delete kit, it's a nice upgrade to keep the engine compartment protected, and a cleaner look at the rear tires.
Great material and an easy install
When looking for replacement splash guards, there were lots of options that were less expensive but I chose this product because it was made in the USA. Although the price point was higher, the quality of the material and the better coverage are worth it. Excellent value for the money.
