I recently bought a 2007 Yaris S Sedan 4 door. The front wheel wells are missing the plastic liner/cover/guard cover things that go above the wheels. My mechanic strongly recommended that I get them installed to prevent rocks from flying up and possibly damaging something in the engine.
He said he'd do it for $650, which seemed incredibly high. I called my local Toyota dealer and didn't get a quote for the work, but they did say the parts would be $110 for each side.
I've found a couple places online that sell what looks like the parts I need, so I was thinking of ordering them and just putting them on myself. It doesn't seem like it should be very much work, and I'm hoping it wouldn't even require removing the wheels.
To cut to the chase, can anyone confirm that these are the right parts? Why are they so much cheaper from partsgeek.com?

Thanks for any help.
