First Edition Mudflaps

[Esquire]

Hello.
What's the difference in the front? How do I understand if I need Japanese or US version?
I have a FE trim that is not equipped with FE plaps. Just regular plastic.
So my idea is to order FE flaps but don't know where to order...
I want with a FIRST EDITION logo don't know where to find them as these flaps are not for our market. Can anyone pm a US FE vin?

Definitely change those out. The factory splash guards are horrendous.

Didn't understand how this can be a first edition yet not come with mud flaps and a roof rack... Not sure if you have rock rails, etc. But this seems more likely to be the LC premium trim and not FE ...

Different countries - different trims.
No flaps, rock rails and roof rack.
But we have rear heated and cooled seats, cargo cover and headlight washer as a standard.
Also we have 7 seater FE.
So could someone please share US FE vin so that I could try to look for flaps?)

It’s clear you have 1958 with an aftermarket 2nd Row heated seat package and a park bench for the third row.
Now you just need the flaps and you are set.

We don't have 1958.
Only LC and FE.
Think wider. There are not only US versions in the world. A lot more countries do exist..)
European FEs are the same I guess.
Don't want to convince you. Just looking for US FE vin or PN for FE mud flaps..)

Did it at least come with the OEM skid plates, 18" wheels, and full set of cameras? Seems the USA FE comes better equipped to go off-road right of the dealer parking lot.... Really disappointed in the random differences in trims from a company that prides itself as the inventor and best example of Lean manufacturing.

The different trim levels don’t affect their manufacturing efficiency. It’s just including or excluding the various parts they’re already making.

It affects their efficiency because they have to stock more parts and because each car has to be built slightly differently and tested slightly differently, has different versions of the software, therefore different bugs and issues, requires different manuals, requires more work on training and procedures in TIS, etc, etc.
There are differences that don't matter much such as the naming of the different trims. Still causes confusion with customers such as in this forums as I don't know the difference between a Kakkadu and a Xanadu or whatever stupid names the various country managers come up with, but at least that doesn't touch any part of the manufacturing.

Here's one for sale. You can find others for sale on US sites like cars.com or autotrader.com.
Be advised that the US market LC250 has a different powertrain than the rest of the world. We have learned that the Japanese market LC250s have slightly different front mud flaps than the US.

Yes, we have full cameras and 18" wheels with a better AT tires, stabi bar disconnect etc. in base for FE.
Comparing to US version in Kazakhstan FEs don't have:
-HYBRID. Which means a better cargo space and a flat floor. But worse acceleration and mpg.
-FE roof rack. I'm going to put RTT so not a big deal.
-FE skid plates.
-FE mud flaps.
-FE rocksliders
-cargo tailgate extra illumination lights
-road signs assistant
-sun roof

FEs have in base:
-rear heated and ventilated seats
-volume knob in the center
-hdmi port
-cargo cover
-headlights washer
-FE labels
-Yokohama Geolandar AT tires
-FE floor mats
____________
Non-FE versions in Kazakhstan can be equipped with 2,7 NON-TURBO gasoline or 2,8 turbo-diesel. You can also choose a 3rd row in a LC. And we don't have 1958.

Missing skids and rock rails is sucks but possible to install using a lot of aftermarket tuned solutions. Ventilated rear seats is a large advantage for me (my daughters)...

What is the exact difference in the flaps? I guess some part needs to be trimmed...

Thanks for the detailed reply, very interesting to learn about the differences.
How do you activate the headlights washer?

By pressing the button. Or it activates automatically if it's dark, raining and you wash the windshield.

Can someone trace FE front mud flaps and post? I'm trying to cut my JDM flaps, but would like them to be as close as possible to the USA FE. Thanks!

Just ordered these on Amazon. The front flaps (from product image), seems to have the correct recessed area, along with the push clip hole.

Reasonable price. Hope material will last

No clue with aftermarket stuff. They look like a correct indentation.
