Splashguard or not to splash guard?
 
What are you opinions? Those that have a 370z what do you think of them tasteful?

I am pricing now with a dealer that does special deliveries for Military personnel stationed in Europe and Im trying to figure out if I should get that option or not. Also there is something on the build for extra cost paint? Havent heard anything about that

I believe Educ8r has them on his new Z.

I believe they fit really well with the car. I know I will be getting them.

Here is the splash-guard on his car: IMG_6454 on Flickr - Photo Sharing!

Not a fan... but useful if you live where it rains a lot!

I would seriously consider them, at least the front one! The front, of the extended rear fender, may/could get "peppered" by rocks and pebbles from the front tire!

I have them on my 350. I didn't really care one way or the other at the time, but now that I look at them, it seems to give the 350 a tougher look. So just based on looks alone I dig it, then there is the functionality which is also a plus.

sensi09 01-10-2009 05:55 PM

The front one on the 370Z blends in really well with the bodywork.

Might as well get them. If you don't like them, just take them off.

Hmm, I didn't even notice that car had the rears at first. It might be the pics, but they really go with the bodywork.

Also, the splashguards will catch rubber from those sticky tires that you use for the track.

I thought it was funny picking up chunks of Hoosier A6's from my father's C6 Z06 after some laps around the track. At least with the splash guards, they won't make it too far.

I went with the splashguards. I think they looked decent on the black.

Any pictures?

I'm not a fan.
I plan to clear bra the entire rocker panel.
I did it on another car & it worked great.
I had them wrap the seams & you didn't even know it was there.

alan93rsa 02-24-2009 08:35 PM

They came on my car, red, and I didn't even notice them. They blend in well.

shumby 02-24-2009 08:36 PM

i got them for my G cuz i liked the look. I think they look good on the Z as well but not a must have.

Agreed. I'm not a fan of them on the 350z, but the front ones blend very well on the 370z and enhance the look of the car.

AK370Z 02-25-2009 01:27 AM

Def. yes. It's a very cheap add on and makes the car look "complete" appearance wise.

BanningZ 02-25-2009 04:45 AM

they will be included in my order. They blend well and with the rain here I think they will be a welcomed part of my Z

My opinion: Get Em! why? well my opinion again, I feel they complete the look as others have said...

and the extra cost for the paint is only on the chicane yellow, what color did you request?

No Splashguards through Parts Department???
 
I called a couple of local Nissan Parts departments here in Arizona and none of them list availability for splashguards. My car came without but I want to add them. Anyone know a good source with pricing? Nissan says they'll "call me back"...not holding my breath.

bluzman 02-26-2009 10:24 AM

Here's one source: Exterior :: Accessories :: 370Z Parts (Z34) 2009+ :: CourtesyParts.com

SoCal 370Z 02-26-2009 10:27 AM

The problem is that if the dealerships are not getting the parts neither will the aftermarket vendors.

nogoodname 02-26-2009 10:30 AM

lol...i didnt get splash guards on my G for 2 reasons

1) it looks better
2) the dealership didnt have any


the Z looks better without them and they dont look too useful anyways


Should have made a poll for this....go to thread tools and make one for us

I have ClearBra on the entire rocker panel. They have a piece that protects the front splashguard.

The G so looks better with splash guards


nogood = fail :gtfo2:

Mine has splash guards.

1) It looks better since my car is black on black which does not show
body's lines well like other light colors - splash guards give it more lines.
2) They make the rear fenders look bigger and wider.

SoCal 370Z 03-02-2009 07:34 PM

Make this a poll please, thanks.

AK370Z 03-02-2009 08:02 PM

Splash guard def make the car look complete from the outside. My previous Z didn't came with them but I installed them. You should def get it. :twocents:

SoCal 370Z 03-06-2009 12:56 PM

As of this date, the splash guards are on national backorder in the States.

RCZ 04-08-2009 05:17 PM

If someone has the front ones in PG and doesn't want them, I'll give you $40 for them.

Forumite 04-09-2009 09:17 AM

Mine already were on mine, not sure if that's because it was the chicane yellow or not but I think it looks much better with than without.

joeyz10 04-09-2009 09:47 AM

not fan especially the 350z. it loks clearner without it

MutantChicken 06-03-2009 01:12 AM
