Same here I took my fronts off and I still have the rear thing is I have more dirt and grime build up in the rear with splash guards than I have in the front with no splash guards...

Post pics when you take yours off....if I have time this week to wash my G, I am gonna take the rears off too. I think the body without the splash guards already has nice lines and the guards only break the lines imo

Front only, because front wheel stick out a bit due to BBK+ wheel spacer,

Not for looks but for function.

Its obviously not for looks because that looks really bad. Put some spacers on the rear wheels at least, it may not be for function, but that shot of your car where the front wheels stick out more than the rear . Your car looks like its FWD or somethin. Oh and get the rear splash gaurds too.

The rear is on 7mm spacer already, flash with fender. Un fortunately, the front is at 22mm spacer. there's nothing I can do to bring it in, unless
get a new set of wheels, not in my short term plan.

I thought about puting rear splash guard, just hesitating as it's added weight & wind resistance with no real benefit. What teh heck, just ordered a pair of rear
from everthihngG35.com

I just ordered the front and rear splash gaurds. The mod bug has bitten me. I swore I wouldnt do anything. I've already purchased a Ztube and Pop Charger, The Sport Sedan wheels, Avic Z1, Shocks and springs. When will it end!!

Any idea if 05/06 splash guards would fit on an 03/04? Since I have the lowers painted all around to match the car and not be that ugly black, the 03/04 ones in black would look real ugly.

I guess an 05 G35 has the same value as a new civic so being concerned with looks shouldn't matter . But seriously, for wind resistance and weight? They weigh maybe 6ozs a piece and add like .00000001 to your 1/4 time, but to each his own. It will look better once you put them on

They won't be a perfect fit since the side sills are different but you can make them fit.

Well, I went and checked to see if I had splash guards after seeing them in the accessory catalog. So if you had to pay extra for em' they must be better right? Quote from catalog, " by reducing dirt and spray and helping to prevent nicks and scratches caused by road debris, these splash guards add STYLE AND VALUE."

I know this thread was old but that's what search is for right?!
