2018 si sedan mudflaps

[hikaru]

I will say my only concern is perhaps the flaps rubbing the paint over time, I will eventually install clear vinyl along the edge where the flap meets the body. And also take some better photos with my camera once it’s nice outside

I put some clear vinyl on the paint before I put the splash guard on as an insurance.

Looks good.

Are the Mud flats attached to metal Bodywork or Plastic bodywork ?
More of an issue than the Flaps rubbing on the paint (They should not, they are firmly attached, and should not move) is that dirt and water may be able to get in between the flaps and the body. Once dirt builds up, then it hold the water more, and eventually you may be looking at a rust issue.

For some odd reasons Honda offers 2 different types of front splash guard, one only covers up the side skirt, and the other one covers up the fender as well. I bought the low profile version.

It's better to have some sort of clear vinyl protection undernealth because the dirt and water accumulated in the area will deteriorate the paint surface which leaves stains. It'd get rubbed as well if you run over some taller bumps or large potholes.

The Si sedan is part specific to TBF since the rear bumper comes with different contour at the lower portion, so the splash guard is made to meet the contour of the bumper. I was curious how could this guy gets the taller version at the front, but then I notice there is a gap at the rear where the lower garnish and bumper meet.

This is how I applied a clear film underneath before installing the splash guards.

Rear Splash Guard
I just test fitted the rear splash guard from regular sedan on the Si bumper, it fits the contour of the bumper EXCEPT the gap between the lower garnish and the bumper.
The part specific rear splash guard for the Si Sedan has a small notch that fills up the gap like what cameraguy is putting on his Si.

Front Splash Guard
The front fits hatchback and sedan, but I find the low profile better because it sits lower and covers wider for functionality.
