I have an 04 Super Black. It came with them on front and rear. I like them alot. I don't care about seeing the tire. If mine didn't come with them I would have ordered them.

Would anyone agree with me if I said that....

If you put the splash guards on your Z, you might as well go get side body molding strips down both sides of your Z to protect you from car doors. Bra is next. Where does it end ?


I brought this up becasue I can't get that god awful G35 out of mind. It had the spash guards AND the body side molding. The lines of car were totally ruined. I dunno, I just think that type of crap belongs on station wagons and minivans.

turcoupe, you've obviously made your point in this thread. I see valid arguments on both sides. It's obviously a matter of personal taste over function.

But that's I posted again z0ner...I just wanted to see if people got them becasue they felt like it was going to protect their investment or strictly for looks. In addition, I wanted to see if the same people who got the splash guards as a dealer option, would have also gotten body side molding if Nissan offered it from the factory (And so on... ex. factory installed Clear bra or regular bra, etc.) Infiniti does it with G35 (and charges a lot for them), and I am sure a lot of G owners got them both....Did not mean to offend you ....

No offense taken turcoupe As you've probably guessed it doesn't matter to me what people do with their cars (I may force back a snicker or two if it's Ultra-Rice (tm)), as long as they're ok with it.

Even though I love they way they look on my roadster, they're not without their issues. It's a pain to clean the debris from the "shelf", and I've already scraped one going up my steep driveway (you'd have to get under it to tell, though).

When I got my Z, the dealer told me all new Z's come with them standard. Is that true?

I also noticed that in front of the rear wheel well, there is a approx 10x5 inch layer of clear bra on my Z. Hard to see but it's definitely there. Is that on all Z's?

the mudflaps are not standard that is a typical lie from a crooked (like they all are) car dealership. Technically you should be able to delete that option for a couple hunnert.

yes, all Zs have the protective clear plastic just in front of the rear tire...nice touch huh!
