Thanks. They have them listed with splash guards as well ($414 total) and I've found similar flares listed on ebay. I might call and ask if they have just the splash guards, but the flares look a bit different from mine. I guess if it isn't too much money it might be worth trying.

Will these things prevent splash effectively? Will these guards bring some negative effects on the driving? And, is $85 a decent price? If you have them on your H3 and can share some pics, it will be sweet. Thanks.

I have these OEM splash guards mounted. I live in a remote mountain area, lots of snow and mud. I really can't tell a difference in the amount of mud collected on the sides of my Hummer before or after installing the mud guards. I think it might be because I have the Goodrich T/A tires , but they are wider (285) than the stock tires.

In retrospect however, I would elect to get a wider "soft" rubber flap, instead of the rigid molded version, especially if you are doing any off-roading. The molded flaps can be a liability, if you rip them off, they might take the wheel well molding as well.
