Chargespeed Rear Question

I'm considering getting a chargespeed rear, but i've been looking around and am curious if you can put the OEM mud guards on it? I've never seen them on one, but i'm not sure if anyone has tried? I'm just curious as to how it would look and if it's possible? Any pictures or info would help, thanks!

I don't even own a Chargespeed rear, nor do I think it needs the mud guards. I was just curious as to if anyone had ever tried it. I don't even have mud guards to try if I wanted to. Just curious was all since I hadn't seen any up. Most likely will not put mud guards on if I owned them, and the chargespeed rear. I can tell it isn't a favorite lol

Won't fit. You'll need to modify the mud guards or the bumper. Wouldn't look good IMO

I own a chargespeed rear. I actually thought about doing this for a bit.... But 1 it won't look good, 2 why, and 3 they won't fit. I don't have enough clearance between the tire and the bumper to fit a mud guard back there. I am dropped though fairly low. Not maxed out but probably 2 inches ish down... The mud guard would be maybe 1 mm off the ground aka would hit every time anything happened. So not they won't fit.

Why spend $1000 for a bumper if it doesn't look perfect as-is? If you get the Chargespeed rear all it will need is paint and you'll be good to go.

IDK where you got yours from, but an authentic Chargespeed bumper cost me 900+ each for front and rear imported from Japan 3 years ago. Not to mention paint and install cost. Not a rip-off, cuz I did my research. No knock-offs for my project. Did your bumpers have the metal tab with with an engraved Chargespeed logo? The real ones have a rectangular dimple in the bumpers where the tabs go. If yours doesn't have the dimple then YOU got ripped off.
