yes, they help keep the dirt down quite a bit IMO.

I'm glad i got them.

I like mine too. Eye candy and functional. A worthy mod. IMHO.

Both. Really. You can see the stuff tht collects on them, plus it makes ur car looks better, IMHO.

I just installed a set on mine after redwillow recommended them. They seem to do the job and look nice too.

How hard is it to install them?

 

Install was pretty easy except for rear, but with the right tools or patience it's simple.

The front - remove 2 screws and a bolt from underneath. Put on splash guard with 2 screws (using existing holes) and replace the bolt. Just turn the wheel each way when installing.

The rear is another story. Same concept except it has the addition of some double sided tape for some reason which is pre-applied. The tricky part here is to get at the 2 screws with the wheels in the way a 90 degree screwdriver works best, but you can't go quite as fast. You also need to drill a small hole on the bottom and use the supplied clip and screw.

Easily under 30 min for everything including prep cleaning.

FYI - mine was for a sedan, but I'm sure it's the same or very similar.

And yes, I actuall like the looks (was concerned before I got them) and it really does help. The price is a rip off though, but I managed to get mine for half price but even that is a lot for such simple items.

yes.. the splash guards definitely are a must.. they do take up a lot of the kick back dirt and it gives the car a wider stance IMO.. almost as if there's a body kit on the car..

Do you use the existing holes or do you have to redrill?

 

both... there are some holes you will need to drill into plastic.

Where is everyone getting their splashguards? I'm assuming the dealer has them for an exorbitant price, but are they available (pre-painted) somewhere else for less?

 

I just got mine from Grubbs. The were 75 a pair plus shipping and you can get 5% off if you use the Fresh Alloy code. They're also having a contest/giveaway this month.
