I also notice this when driving over puddles. They REALLY are there for a reason.

 

I broke one, and had the same debate. I left them off and am glad. I really don't get any more mud on the car, and there are no marks from debri.

 

I have the fronts on and the rears off right now. I think it looks good.

 

without them it makes the car look weird and plain, they do compliment the body

 

Ditto.

I think the fronts look kind of sporty.

Rears look like ***** though. I cringe whenever I see em on a Z!

 

You all keep calling them "mud guards" like you go bahaing through the mud holes down in hick country, I dont know about you but I try to keep my car as clean as possible. Thats why I have my "splash guards" on, and I appreciate how they keep my cars underbody not looking like the insides of the splash guards.
It might even look better if you were to actually mold the splash guards to the body, so that there wouldnt be any lines. Anyone want to be the first at doing something???? That'd be pretty Word.

 

If you're ever going nto get sideskirts but don't want go get the full kit I think the mud guards make the skirts look much less out of place. I've never thought about taking mine off.

 

here's mine:

Looks good. Here is mine. Trust me when I say that the rear guards are not on. The bumper is off having the Ings rear valance panel put on!

 

The fronts look good since they're barely there and are subtle.

The rear...BLAAH... they barely cover my 275 tires. Looks like a 300lb chick wearing a thong.

But they're staying on until I can find the right rear valence kit.

Neighbors up the street keep washing something so I'm always going through puddles. I'd imagine the whole back side would be drenched without em.

 

to be honest guys they're actually called splash guards, not mud guards, they're more for contaminated water, tar/asphalt, and paint overspray protection for you car more than mud protection...like you said it's a sports car not a mud truck. peace.

 

You just keep your mouth shut there G35 boy

 

a little too far this time? What about a “license plate frame - no license plate frame poll?"
