Default SPLASH GUARDS or no?

I was just curious here. Me and my friends with Zs all think the splash guards look silly and out of place. We don't have them on our cars. I've seen a lot of Zs on here that look great... aside from the flaps. So, here we have it. A POLL!

they look good on stock once you add a good set of wheels with good offsets they have to go.

No need to be **** about it. We all know wtf I'm talking about. Interesting that it's about a tie between the people that don't like the look and the people that do. I expected more to hate them.

Once I slammed my ride I pulled them. Sucks though as mine is an '04 and in the rears the splash guards rubbed the paint on the bumper giving the bumper a nice lil black outline where they used to be.

I think they look horrible on a Z. Why put them on a sports car? I bought mine with it, and i took em off the next day but left the fronts since the rear left a mark and the fronts don't look nearly as bad. They dont even do anything but ruin the lines of the Z. Imagine splash guards on a gallardo, or a 911. How would that look? But again, everyone is different
