Man, I hear that! I'm fully disabled, I've got a fused spine and osteo in both knees,it was not fun putting these things on, but i refused to be ripped by the dealerHaving installed OEM mud guards on every Honda I've owned since the 90's?? Don't remember when they first came available. On the 10th gen, they list for what, $105 +installation? I imagine the materials cost to Honda for 4 plastic moldings and a few screws/clips is at the most, what $10.00? Installation during manufacturing would add a minute or two (if that!) when the car is being "trimmed" Most Hondas I see on the road have them installed, so why don't they go the simple route and make them standard and add the $10-12 to the cost of the car? Probably because accessory installation is a profit item for the dealerFor most of us, it would be a no-brainer, those who don't like/want them, easily removed or replaced with another type. Until recently, after becoming semi-disabled, I used to install them myself, easy if you can kneel or have access to a lift. I'd rather them come installed and pay the $12 or so.
