splash guards or not?
 

Do you like the factory splash guards?

I think it looks better without them. The plastic parts of the car always look a slightly different color than the metal parts. Like the fuel lid for example. But the splash guards would definitely make a difference, especially the front ones.

I have them on my blue. NO difference in colour. I personally went and got them after I got a good rock chip on one of the side panels - haven't got one since!!!

I like them, they are a nice little touch and complete the look of the car IMO. Mine didn't come with the splash guards so I ordered some...and on my way back from the dealership it looks like I'll need them to protect the rocker panels (esp. behind the front tires).

These sort of rock chips are the reason I'm debating back and forth on wheel spacers.
I have the splash guards and like them.

the factory ones add accent to the bodyline so i got a set on mine.

Debated on this as well...but finally went with them. I think they finish off the car nicely, not to mention the functional benefit. No difference in color here...

Could someone post a picture of them on their car?

I ordered my car without them thinking that it was a slightly pointless option to get - but if it protects from rocks chipping the paint then maybe it's worth getting a set later on...

FINALLY, a thread to ask whether people like splash guards or not!

Oh wait:

I think the splash guards look great, but don't expect them to do a very thorough job of protecting your rocker panels. I have 2400 miles on my car and I can't believe how many tiny chips and specks are already on my rocker panels. If you're trying to protect your rocker panels, get a clear bra on 'em -- I wish I would've. At this point I'll just eventually get them repainted and a clear bra installed.

I see what you did there......:rolleyes:

You can see them on my car here:
Nissan 370Z Forum - LunaZ's Album: My Z

oooooo I get it now!

Just think though. If there were ZERO repeat threads on questions asked or topics discussed, this would be a VERY boring forum filled up with "So I turned off VDC yesterday...." threads.

We don't want that, do we?

I mean, I've had the same "Celtics vs Lakers" discussion with the same guys at work every day for the past 2 weeks, and every time we talk about it...it's different!

That sounds awesome.

Every forum I've ever been on has a "Search Nazi" or three.
It seems their goal is to turn their forum into static site filled with a searchable library of information where questions and discussion become unnecessary.
Oddly enough, when these Search Nazis aren't policing newbies, they tend to spend the majority of their time posting and commenting on the off-topic sections of their forum.

Personally, I like to answer newbie questions when I can or at least direct them to the information, rather than just posting a "try the search button" or "RTFM" response.
It's part of being a welcoming community.

It's an opinion thread, I'll throw mine in how I see fit ;]

It could have been worse.


I have splash guards on mine

:OFF TOPIC ALERT:

Lol, why do you have a profile picture containing some fat *** lines of coke, for no apparent reason?

i think it looks better without.

No apparent reason you say? :eekdance:

Thanks for helping out.

Def get the splash guards. I think it completes the wheel area. Also, it keeps your rear bumper cleaner :tup:

:iagree: I like the way they look.

I like mine, they keep crap from the road from getting onto the lower fender.
