Default Front Mud Guards

I just put these on. Went for my first oil change and while waiting saw a few models on the lot. Got to compare, side-by-side, models with and without the mud guards. I really like how the help clean up some of the lines on the Z. Rear guards come in at the end of the week. Will add more pics when finished...

Finally got the rears installed. Bought 'em from Courtesy Nissan. Shipping was hella quick... Rear wheels had to come of to install the mud guards. Easy though, took less than hour. Enjoy...

i am going to do the opposite.

my current touring and ex-track came with the mud guards installed. but i am going to take them off. i think the car looks cleaner without them, and my car is going to be lowered next month anyways.

Does anyone have concern of moisture / crud being trapped under the guards and causing premature corrosion?

Default Front only?

Does anyone have a pic from the side of only the front guards on? I would really like to see how it looks. I'm considering only installing the front too, but thinking it might look strange.

I have the mud guards ordered on my Z. I dont think that they are THAT obvious on the rear. You can tell that they are there because you look at different Zs twenty-four seven. I dont think most people would notice or even really care. I think that their function overcomes how bad they look. I really dont want any kind of mud or dirt being kicked up onto my Z. That would be obvious and make it look like sh*t. Also, please "lose the bra", that things function REALLY does not overcome how terrible it looks. I guess it matters whether you want every square inch the bra covers to have little tiny scratches on it or if you would rather get perhaps a scratch or two on the underside of the car where no one will ever look. We don't drive show cars. Well most of us. Skidazzle does. XD, his car so sexy.
