Ordered car without them, car came in with them. Came painted to match body almost like aero parts...now i love em...kinda finishes off the body. Nicest flaps on the market that are also functional.

No. The design is clean without them... and I still don't think they serve any real purpose. Had them on my Z32... and hated them then as well.

I have them, want to take them off. But they drilled a hole in the body! It is low down so maybe it would not be visible?

nope. 8000miles no chips related to road debris from the tires. I have yet to hear anyone without them get a chip, but someone can tell me Im wrong. I think the car is just shaped in such a way that it doesnt make contact.

also I have aftermarket tires, and they would have blocked this beautiful site of 275s peeking out under the rear bumper.

I like them. It makes the car look lower and more agressive looking.

if anything, get the front ones...it looks more natural on the car. The back ones just look weird imho

here's my Z with just the front:

I ordered them with my car, but only lasted about a week. They just look too abrupt in terms of flowing with the body. Front only is ok. But to each his own i guess...

Default Ran them both ways on Marilyn

I had them on for the first 20,000 miles and then I hung one on a sharp right hand curbing. Took them off to repaint and immediately liked the unbroken lines when they are off. I have run without them for the last 21,000 miles and they will remain off. Regards, Jim
