Splash Guard installation?

Does anyone have a set of splash guard on their coupe right now? I'm curious if they installs using existing holes? 3M tapes? Or requires drilling.

Acura TL splash guards have a problem with trapping dirt/water between the guard and the paint, hopefully the Infinity ones are better designed...

Re: Splash Guard installation?

Actually, you use screws in the front mud guard, which you will have to drill holes for and apply the double sided tape attached to the mud guard. In the rear, you will have to drill again and unscrew a bolt along with applying thedouble sided tape. Of coarse, you have to remove the wheels.

The guards install easily and quicky using existing holes, except for the rear set which need one drilled hole (each side)
into plastic.
They are fairly effective in preventing splatter, and are quite attractive IMO.
They don't seem to clog up too badly with dirt or slush.[img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Splash Guard installation?

Thanks for the responses! I guess I'll place my order for a set. I'm not too worry about drilling a hole here and there, but wanted to make sure it isn't going to collect dirt and water like the ones on the Acura. :-P

Those look sweet Gsedanman. Any problems with speed bumps hitting them?

Actually, GSM had his splash guards initially installed with twigs! I think he was anticipating his rise to "Pooh-Bahdom" and wanted to see how everything fit! [img]/w3timages/icons/tongue.gif[/img][img]/w3timages/icons/laugh.gif[/img]
