sorry 3rdpower. I'm going to respectfully disagree with you. They look out of place. Like the designers forgot to remove the clay. Not my bag of worms.

hehe... hey, if we were all alike we'd be like ME!

I respectfully accept your rebuttle and rebuke you!

I think it gives the car a more lowered look without actually lowering... gives the car some aggression... aggression is good

I'd like to protect my investment too... don't need any rocks n crap nicking up my paint job! 3M film can't cover the whole thing hehe... and their removable if I really don't like in person

Spend 30K plus and not protect the lower finish. I don't think so.

Thumbs down

Mudflaps belong on large trucks, not sports cars....

BTW, the dealer can still install them for you if you didn't order them and want them.

I'm seriously considering the clear bra also. I've never even seen one of these in real life - can anyone that has any experience with them shed some light? My main concern is - is it a really tight fit to the car, can moisture get between the bra and the car and fog up or anything like that?

Here's a nice thread for ya on the clear bra - I'm getting it too but I don't think it'll protect the whole side of the car?

News thread on Clear Bra - Good read...

Ummm...none for me thanks. No splash guards, no clear bras, leather bras, none of that. I liken that stuff to putting those nasty plastic slip covers on a nice comfy couch. It's a car, not a Picasso.

Just must opinion. I have nothing against those who are protective to the point of covering your car when you're food shopping. Just not my thing.

3rdpower

I gotta agree with ya. Got to protect those pretty sides somehow.

Skimark will back me up on this when I tell ya this, in the winter they put ROCKS down for traction during the winter here in Denver.

Even thou I don't plan on driving my baby in the really bad stuff ther is still a good chance of getting caught in a storm here.

Question: do you think they will interfere with my curb feelers

ok...so it's a 50/50 split on the like/dislike of "splash guards".

just as long as someone doesn't put these on it's all good.
