do any of u guys take them off ??

i tok mine off just yesterday not cuz it looks bad or anything

it was cuz my right ride front one was coming off and hanging
( my friend back up the car for me and forgot to tell him its lowerd )
he went up scratching the mud guard and my heart was scratching too

so i decide to take them all off and i live in the desert not much mud here

 

that sucks....but i put mine on and love them.

 

Its no big deal but the front tires throw road debris on the side of the car. Some that you can see (mud) and some that you cannot (sand). I think that the front mud guards are functional.

 

yea i know its functional and all

its just that its gonna com off anyways since im puting on new bidy kits

 

I bought with the car. I took them off after a couple of weeks. The dirt and mud built up caused scratching and I could see that it was going to accumulate over time and cause a corrosion problem. So, I took them off. I like the looks much better.

Now, on my Pathfinder they are built much better and do not accumulate if you rinse them off after you go off-road. So, there they are functional and won't cause problems down the road.

The same thing was true for my old altima. They really helped.

I just don't like the way they built the ones for the Z.

Pictures below:

 

I have them and love them. I'm im Palm Desert and there's enough water at street intersections for me to keep them on. Nice to see another CV owner here.

 

My rear ones are all chewed up on the underside, which I can assume would have been the lower rear of the bumper if I didn't have them. Rather chew the mudguards up than the bumper.

 

I prefer the way they look so leave them on. I do however agree totally with Z Driver about the build up and thus remove and clean where they sit routinely.

 

i took mine off cuz it cracked on one side. so i just took both off.

 

yea

mine on the right side front one was hanging on the ground

so i tok the front 2 off and i look at it thinking hmmmm weird

so i tok them all off...

and the dust and sand

i know all Z owners wash there car and take good care of it constantly right ?

thats the way to do it

 

One of my rears was damaged so I took both rears off. I still have the fronts on. I think they look really good on SBs.

 

Took mine off. They were staining the car and were all scratched. I also left one in a parking lot. I think the back ones dont help the design of the car. They are too squarely.
