I've heard mixed reviews about the way splashguards look on the G35. Living in Vancouver where it rains all the time, I'm thinking the splashguards might be effective in keeping the sides of the G35 less dirty?

Those that have the guards, how did it compare to when you didn't have them on (in terms of keeping the G35 cleaner). Any input would be great, as I don't want to buy these guards and have them not really be too effective.

Thx,

I just put mine on so I don't have enough experience yet to be able to comment on their function. I live on a dirt road and had to do something. Anyway, it can't hurt, and I don't think it looks bad.

 

My G came without splashguards, so I installed them a month after, and must say that they definitely work. Haven't washed my G in a week and there's noticably more dirt and crap on the splashguard from deflecting all the crap that gets flung off of my tires. If the splashguard was not there, then there would definitely be nasty streaks on the side of the rear fender. Tho, must say, the rear splashguards look much better then the fronts.

Im sure they work, however, I dont really like the way they look

 

The splash guards are not mud flaps. They do not deflect debris. They merely "cover" the areas they sit over.
In my opinion, I don't know what they are really guarding - since you have to drill holes to install them and they are partially held on with tape - if you pull them off in the future you will probably have holes, tape pulling paint off, and a color difference due to weathering. So what have you protected?
I would use them only if you like the appearance as part of an aero package.

 

They guard my G's a$$ from gettin dirty!

They also are wider than the "regular" curve of the car, thus protecting from rocks and other things that kick up.

I like the looks and they work well.

I noticed a big difference after installing them with the stock wheels. I can't imagine how dirty and how many paint chips I'd have without them now that I have wider wheels.

haha u live in vancouver too? dont u just hate its so sunny during the day, so u decide to wash ur car, and then that same nite it starts POURING? lol...anyways i got the splash gaurds...they dont WORK IMO, but they do make it look like the G has a mini bak kit...

 

I got them because they came with the G I picked out, plus I thought it looked good too. I think they do work, since I see more dirtyness there than there rest of my car.

When you install them, do you need to take off your wheels?

I ordered mine last week and was just wondering how long the install will take.
