Does the factory splashguards really work? >

Does the factory splashguards really work? How simple are they to intall? Do they come with double sided tape and or do I have to screw them in? Where can I get them the cheapest? Grubbs INFINITI has them for 74.99, is that a good price?

Yes, they work extremely well. I don't know how much of difference you'll be able to see with a BS but on the darker colors you can really see the difference. So not only do they keep it cleaner but they protect the sides as well. They also look great.

They don't take too long to install. You will need to remove the rear wheels but it's not too bad. They are held by 3m tape as well as screws. Some of the screws go into pre-existing holes and some you have to drill but it's only into the plastic.

Grubbs has a good price and you can save a little more with their discount code from fresh alloy.

I think they help out a lot. You might consider them if you plan on going with wider tires since they kick up more dirt. I bought my front ones from Grubbs (dealership threw in the rear ones) and installed them myself. It's easier with a jack but you shouldnt need one for the fronts.

Yes, they do work. They don't prevent 100% of the splashes but they are much better than not having one. Plus IMO, they add to the sporty looks!
