I have them and like them, one of the only feature I required besides the sport package.

They are certainly functional, but I do not care for the way they look.

I have them, but don't like how they look, messes up the clean lines of the car. I didn't order them but they came with the car. I nevertheless decided to leave them on as they are practical

Easy fix, take them off and throw them in the trash.

My car came with them. The adhesive tape came undone. The dealer ordered a new set. Put them on and they look terrible. There are gaps so they are not laying flush against the body.

My 350z came with splash guards and the first thing I did was take them off. I think the front splash guards look ugly. I live in Seattle and see no need for splash guards. I honestly don't think the front guards are big enough to be functional.

In my humble opinion, i like them. I think there a nice addition to the curvature of the vehicle and since i live in the so-called 'sunshine state" it rains everyday in the summer and there very practical.

i dont like splash guards in general so i didnt want them before on the z but when i saw pics it looks like it flows really well with the car
so i added it to the list of things i wanted in the car before i purchased
i figured add it to the deal and if i dont like it ill take it off
now that i see it more frequently in my car everytime i see a 370 without it it just looks like something is missing
