Default Mud Flaps

So guys, just noticed that the right side rear mud flap of my car is cracked a little on the top where it's screwed to the bumper.

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to just purchase one rear mad flap from somewhere? The car is silver in colour, so I'd like the mud flap to be silver as well to save the hassle of painting.

As for the installation, I don't suppose it would be hard right? Just unscrew the bolts and remove the old one?

Where can I buy this from online?

Thanks guys.

they typically comes as a set, but if you are more specific as to what color silver you have, maybe someone on here might have a set you can buy from them...

I guess I wouldn't mind even if it's a set. I would prefer if I was able to get a single one it would be better. I was even contemplating getting those CF one's I posted above but I am not sure how the two rear splash guards in CF would look. So a bit confused about that.

My car is this color

what year is your Z? If it's pre-2006 like the one in the pic, then it's Chrome Silver or Liquid Aluminum.

What's your color code?

It's 03, I think it's most likely chrome silver, cause well it's silver. I don't have the code on me at the moment, where can I look for it? The manual? It's exactly the same colour as the car in that pic.

The color code is inside your door. on the sticker that has the VIN and other information about your car, such as gross weight, tire size/pressure, etc.

I'm not fond of OEM mudwomperguards, and removed them from my Z. In my opinion, it makes the Z look much more sleek without them. Besides, it rarely rains in So Cal, and I don't offroad.

I would remove them however it's illegal in Alberta to not have mud flaps. So I don't want useless trouble with the popo. I looked at CF veilside rears but they are like $400 without shipping or anything. I just got cf hood and air duct and spent over 1k on them.

As far as the color code is concerned I can't find it anywhere. I looked at the sticker in the door, it has manufacturing date, weight, VIn number but no where do
I see the colour code.

These are the color codes that you should be looking for....
Chrome Silver KYO
Silverstone WV2
More than likely it's chrome silver.

Color code is also located inside your engine bay just below the battery cover near the fire wall...you'll see an aluminum plate which has the vin# & etc plus the color code.

If you plan on cf mud guards, just make sure you have the same cf weave & cf color so it all matches.

How do you ensure something like that? About the cf weave and colour? I was under the impression that all cf is the same. The hood is VIS one and then there is the Titek cf air duct.
