Would you mind posting some close-up photos of the front guards? Like to see how they look from the front.
Put guards on today. Very easy to install. They are very small and unintrusive. Here's some pics:

Definite YES (I have not acquired a Stinger yet) but I want to see what aftermarket solutions are on offer. I can't imagine not having them as they tend to really help against damage and the OEM ones appear pretty sharp and not gaudy.

Bought the OEM set and installed within days of getting the car. IMHO they are a Must Have. They cut down dirt and damage.

Did you install it yourself or was it dealer? Plan on getting this soon.

I did, took about 10 minutes. The OEM kit includes the guards, replacement screws and an Allen wrench. Don't need to jack the car up either. Just turn the front wheels to install.

Very clean design. Looks good. IMO, I wouldn't have a car without them when available, as they are so effective. Nicely done OEM solution.

What is reasonable? Kia OEM superstore has them for $36USD. DHL shipping for a 3# package is about $30USD. So, for around $70USD you can have a set in about a week.

70$ would be great! I am watching on ebay and it would cost me AUD $180 ($130) delivered and take a month to get to me. Can you direct me to the sellers website.

I think he's referring to this site https://www.oemkiasuperstore.com/

Direct Product Link https://www.oemkiasuperstore.com/Stinger_Splash_Guards_p/j5f46-ac100-and-j5f46-ac200.htm

Same seller via Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Kia-Stinger-Splash-Guards/dp/B078J2X85L/

Sorry, my error on the price. They are actually $80USD. That's what I get for doing something in the middle of the night. My apologies.

Anyway, why not get someone Stateside to ship it to you? If you don't know anyone, you do know us!

If there is a will, there is a way.

Mike
All links don?t ship to Australia. Thanks for the suggestions.

I paid USD 65 + 7.5% sales tax at a local dealer for the set. I guess it helped since I got wholesale pricing.

Installation is very easy. A short/stubby Phillips screw driver and a flat screw driver or a trim removal tool are all that are needed. Replace all fasteners with the ones supplied in the boxes (basically longer to accommodate the thickness of the mudguards). Front ones take about 5-10 minutes, the rears take slightly longer due to lack of space. While working on the rear, take a look at the brackets/retainers for the rear bumper cover (aft of mud guard), make sure that the plastic rivets are installed properly; mine were loose at one side (2 plastic rivets were improperly inserted).

What I like is that the OEM ones are designed perfectly for the car and you barely notice them at all.
