Question Difference between Sport and non-Sport Splash Guards

Hey guys, I'm looking into buying a set of OEM splash guards for my 08Journey Sedan. I found Nissan parts selling them here: http://www.nissanparts.org/MC-DBEE-CCI.aspx but I'm a bit confused because for the front they have 2 types. One that says for Sports Vehicles: http://www.nissanparts.org/PD-F3850-...aspx?MakeID=18 and another that is for non-sport vehicles: http://www.nissanparts.org/PD-F3850-...aspx?MakeID=18. Now what's the difference? Is there are difference?

One last question, is fitting easy? i.e. can I do it myself? do they just fit over the bolts that are already there to hold the inner wheel arch?

Also these splash guards are for a 07 Sedan, they should fit my 08 Sedan fine right?

Any feedback would be much appreciated

The sport has different side sills so the front splash guards are different. Same guards for 07/08.

Cool, thanks for the info dude. So I'm guessing the sports ones will not fit my Journey and I should select the non-sport one? Do they both look the same as each other? apart from the side sills?

Front bumper is different on the sport as well.

Easy install...maybe 15 min per corner including jacking the car up. Mine was lowered so I wanted more ground clearance while doing the install.

ok I see, but do you have to drill into anything? or do you use the current bolts that are holding the wheel liner together?

You do have to drill a few holes. The rest is sticky tape.

Humm weird just been looking at their site and they say no drilling necessary, but I guess you do have to drill to get a decent fit?
