splash guards or no splash guards

Ct Chip · 03-31-2009, 09:30 PM

They are hideous looking. I've seen them in person side by side with a car that didn't have them. I realize it's a matter of personal taste. Nissan made them a "mandatory option" when my car was ordered so unfortunately it will have them on when it comes in (April - May).
All I wanted was a base, 6 speed with sport package.
None of the poser junk.
They are out here, I've seen them - but Nissan would not build the car that way when the order was entered in early February.
I went as far as contacting Nissan via email about this beforehand. They responded that they would build the car but when the order was entered it was denied repeatedly until the goober flaps were ordered. Another case of the right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing.
Ridiculous IMO.
I already told the dealer to remove them when the car comes in - hopefully before I get to see it.

I bought a Z with splash guards, and am VERY happy I have them. They are very low key, but do a GREAT job! Keep 'em!

Thanks, not going to take the chance screwing up the paint since being enlightened that they are taped as well.

Splash guards are poser junk? I guess floormats, leather and bose stereos are poser too? There's alotta guys that would say buying the sport pkg is VERY POSER. Many believe "why buy a cheap azz sport pkg when you can have 6piston Brembo's, Volks, a OS Giken or Quaiffe lsd, KW3 suspension and an amuse or Zele bodykit??? See it really sux calling people or there tastes posers because someone that can afford the $25,000 in mod parts just mentioned would call you a poser with a sport pkg.. for a lot of guys all those parts mentioned are pre-mods before the real mods. (engine mods.)

Damn, I just noticed that. What is the deal with the ancient thread resurrections? Lol.

Either way, the comment should've been addressed years ago. So I did. Lol
