Personally, I hate them. Ruins the lines of the car. Belong on trucks only.

My preference is without...

I have them out of necessity (winter driving).

I took them off when I got my new wheels. I don't mind them on a stock car.

+1 on splashgaurds.
They look good and keep your cars paint safe.
You would think that nissan would have used film (clearbra)
On them like they did on the side of the car though.
My Splash guards have been abused and the paint is chipped.

I actually like them. Unless you have a body kit I think they add a nice touch to the look of the car.

I find that they don't really guard against splashes. On my first drive after every wash, I notice plenty of splash marks just the "splash guards." Quite a misnomer, in my opinion. They probably do help with rocks and stuff, though.

Er, that should read, "...just beyond the 'splash guards.'"

I personally do not like the look of the splash guards. For rocks, I put clear bra across the bottom of the fenders, doors, and behind the rear wheel.

I dislike them so much I stopped by the side of the road on the way home from the dealership to remove them.... just kidding, took them off as soon as I got home. If anyone would like to buy a set in Silverstone ( they have 14 miles on them) send me an e-mail

I don't mind how they look but at the same time I think that people with wider tires in the back should take them off for a more aggressive look. So i'll wait until then to take them off.

You may not like the looks, even though I do, but they serve a very useful purpose. Without them you will have numerous dings on the under side of your rear fenders.
