Talking Dreaming Splash Guards
Does anyone here have Slash guards(front) and the Appearance Package in their vehicle? If so, could you post some pictures. I'm considering buying the front Splash guards from Resenthal Mazda but I want to get an idea on how they would look. Thanks.

Thanks for the pics. Something doesn't seem right for some reason. I don't think I'll be getting them. Thanks again.

I have the splash gaurds and I like them. They give a nice finish to the look of the 8. I'll see if I can't snap some pics and post them. For the money they are worth it.

I have the front splash gaurds installed with the appearance package, and i like them.
With the splash guards, the car looks more complete and they really help to keep the car clean too.

No, the appearance package looks better and it is not compatible with the splash guards.

Yeah, I got the splash guards because they're ... ummm... SPLASH GUARDS. Glad I'm not the only "crazy" one...

The splash guards look great with the aero/appearance package, and they keep things much cleaner...

i think the rx8 looks good with the appear. package and front splash gaurds installed. It seems to help balance things out in the front, and it keeps your 8 clean too!

Like most things in this forum when it comes to opinions; there is no right or wrong. It is just that, different opinions about the same topic. Splash guards do help keep the car clean and they look good to some people, but I made my mind up and they are not going on my RX-8. Thanks for everyone's opinions and pics.

I think the pics posted by pidge1114 are getting some negative responses because that car does not have the front air dam. The front air dam w/splash guards and appearance package seems to gel much better together.

i think the mudguards help the cars looks alot cuz it does fill in that missing gap of the appearance package. car looks to empty on the front without it. i just got mine today so no pics but here's a link to someone who does have it on....https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...ellow+goodies.

Those pics look much better. The front air dam really makes a difference. IMO it is a night & day difference. I have the front air dam and now I may have to buy the splash guards after seeing those pics! :p

This could be why the last thread I posted looks much better than the beginning pics in this thread. They look unbalanced because they are.

IMO the splash guards look nice--Not to mention the painfully obvisous as well--but they do help the car not get chipped and what not from flying stuff off the tires..

I'm wondering about getting the mazdaspeed sides....I'm not yet sold on the front and fin. I have the app. package but wonder if anyone just has the sides of the mazdaspeed kit. The front flaps look ok but I think the skirts might look better. Anyone have any pics? T
