Does anyone know if the front splash guards/mud flaps are the same between '03 and '09?
I ask because i've found somewhere that is selling them painted from the factory, but only lists a single model year of '09.

As far as I know, the 03-08 factory mud guards are identical.
09 was the start of the 370Z. (unless you want to get technical, there was an 09 convertible)
What color are you looking for? If you're getting them in a tri-coat, I can almost 100% promise the color won't match anyway.

That's the thing, they're stated for the 350, not the 370 
I'm looking for Pikes Peek white, no idea about tri coat. What i do know, is that Nissan sold these pre-painted until most of the stock dried up a few years ago, now they're only available in primer.

PPW is, hands-down, the worst color to match. Trust me!
With that said, if you get the factory painted PPW mud guards they might be a little "whiter" than the car but probably not real noticable. Give them a call and ask!

Look at the part numbers for the various model years. Are they the same? Different?. Here you go: http://courtesyparts.com/

So i called them, couldn't answer the 09 part of the question, but looked and found what i've experienced for months now, the part number forwards to a primer only version of the splashguard

Thanks, but i think IIRC, that they're painted by the sellers, or like other stockists, they don't have them in stock anymore, just the part to re-order showing a primer only version 
Also, price for painted? wtf?

$112/4 painted is about right. I put 4 on a white 350Z with about 50000 miles. Improved the curb appeal considerably.

Definition is based off their effectiveness
Like water resistant and water proof.
But you're correct, Nissan call them splash guards, half the Nissan dealers list them under mud flaps.

You do understand that all OEM sideskirts are interchangeable to all years correct? (minus the NISMO) so by default all splash guards are interchangeable.

I'm assuming that's only 350's, not 350's and 370's.
