I saw a post about the lack of guards on these cars and the fact that, without them, because of the way the panels are shaped, rocks kick up from the tires and can cause chipping and eventually rusting to the lower panels. I was looking around and didn't see anything for the 07'. I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get some?

I was going to order thyese today but it's saying that they may not be compatible if you have side sills. Does anyone know if this is true?

I saw that too. I have sills so I didn't buy them. The flaps could be trimmed to fit but it could be a costly experiment.

Looking at it, I don't see how there would really be a problem, but I won'y know until, I actually get them so I'm gonna give it a shot and I'll let you know how I make out.

i asked my Mazda dealer and they said they won't put splash guards on. That sucks. I really wanted to have those installed.

Note: There is no need to drill holes on the wheel wells for the mud flaps in the Mazda 5, as there already
holes for the anchors.

Installed my $36 (from dealer) front splash gaurds in about 10 minutes. Two screws, two anchors each. The 07 accessory catalog states they will not work with side sill extensions.

Though the instructions mentioned and showed a plastic piece that ran the length along the underside of the rocker panle called the "rock plate"that needed trimmed to fit the guards. My 07 did not have this and I am looking for a part number to order it as I would like the added protection on the undercarriage.
