i'll stick with touch up paint but ive had my car for almost 2 years and have no rock chips where the mudguards would be so lucky me personally, i think they are ugly so that is why i would def not get them, but to each his own!
Mudguards came with the base fit I purchased last month, no charge, so that's why I haven't bought any. Since I've had them from the day I purchased the vehicle, I can't say if there is something better about them on the Fit. I can say mudguards made a big difference on our minivan - much less dirt and splatter on the sides of the vehicle with the mudguards.
On the Base Fit, I don't think they add or detract from the looks. It is an extra step to clean them since they have to be treated with some type of plastic or trim guard. Worth it though IMHO if it keeps a bunch of dirt off the sides of the vehicle. If I didn't have them already, I would purchase them based on the difference I see on my minivan. RG
If they had them for the Sport I would get 'em! Had them on my Civic and Accord!
I don't know who "they" are but all you have to do is visit any auto store and find ones that will fit. I got the Powerflow 41-8786-4 size C that will fit many cars.
My LX Fit came with front and rear mud flaps when I went to pick it up from the dealer ... I did not ask for them or pay extra for them ... dealer told me that they install them on all their base Fits (it rains alot here)
Why does no one install splash guards on their Fits? I know they only work on the base model so that excludes all the Sport owners...but are there really that many more sports than bases?
We sell 6 - 10 times more splash guards for other models a month than we do for the Fit!
So whats the deal with these? Any and all input would be appreciated. They can't look that ugly can they
Thank you!

I'm new to the FIT and new to the Forum, so this older thread is also new to me. I had a hard time finding a base FIT. I thought they would be easy to find, but they aren't. Plenty of Sports, plenty of Sports with Nav.
Some dealerships didn't even have a base model. A fairly close dealership right now has 8 with VSA/Nav, 6 Sport, and one "call for trim". Of 15 cars, one MIGHT be a base model.
So, yes, I am looking at the mud flaps myself. I think they will look fine on my white 09. I'm also looking at the side molding.
I, personally, didn't choose to put mud/splash guard on mine. It came with them...
That said, I probably would not have gotten them anyway because they do look, well, fugly, and they are way overpriced for what is, after all, a hunk of injection molded plastic. At the least, the splash guard should be flat on the leading edge instead of having that cupped area. They tend to accumulate rocks and dirt in the crevices.
Of the Fits that I've seen on the road (and I drive 450 miles a day at work), the majority have been Sport models. What really needs to happen is for someone to make splash guards for the Sport.
