^ I can't speak for IvoryG, but I installed the splashguards because they offer some protection from road debris, plus I think they look good. You barely notice that they are even on there.

I compared, side by side, 2 G35x's when I was at the dealer test driving and falling in love.
I felt that the model with splash guards looked a little better and the one without just seemed to be missing something.

I did not compare S models, since I was in the market for the x only.

I installed them for their function, but also for the look and I installed them myself (after the dealer forgot to).
It was pretty easy and the most difficult part was jacking up the car to get the drill in there.

Very easy to do and I'm happy with them.

No splash guards for me...where did you get that? Crazy because this poll was absolutley dominant to put them on. I just can't make up my mind. I see some cars with them that look clean, but Beebo I agree with you most of the time that my car looks smoother without them. We'll see...its still on my list to consider but its one of those things that isn't going to get a decision anytime soon.

As for GC...I can see why you put them on. The weather...the salt...all that...no matter little they truly help, even if its just a tad that is better than nothing. I would do it if I were you toon.
