Default How many ZR owners have the mud guards/flaps?

This morning I took off the fronts but left the back ones on. The car came with these on, I didn't like the fronts. Curious to see what other opinions are?

if you don't go for bodykit, leave them on. Look better that way.

I took mine off, esp. after I realized how much they obscured the view to my shoes!

Mine also came with them. I left them on since I think they go with the car well. One thing I don't like is that the rear ones collect rocks and debris inside the body. I try to clean them out each time I clean the car, but it's a pain.

I have mine off for now, I took them off two days ago just to see how I like them..

I am undecided. It definatly makes the wheel wells look larger when they are off and it take a lot of the "rake" off the rear end. The front looks kind of good without them, but the rear seems like its missing something.. I don't think they look good mixed/matched..

I am kind of thinking of putting them back on after a good cleaning and re-paint. Or getting some of those trucker chick mud flaps... *jk*

May look a little better with the rears off, but if you have wider tires, you will kill you paint job on your lower rear fascia without them. Look how chewed up the inside of the mudflaps get.

My car came with them too. Looks good, I think, more complete with them on.

I took my fronts off and the rears will be GONE when I get around to it. With 285's in back, the rear splash guard looks kind of silly to me.

Came on the car so they will stay. If it came w/o them I wouldn't add as I like a clean look. They do blend in pretty well though.

Same here. It makes my 285 rear look so big.

My 04 ZR came with them on...
My 05 did not, and with 245/275
I prefer the car NOT to have them.

Have yet to have any nicks due to no gaurds.

I've got the Nismo rear underspoiler....so techincally YES I have mud guards, but they aren't the "stock" ones. The nismo ones replace the stock ones.

BTW anybody want to buy my stock ones?? They are Magnetic Black.
