Front splash guards?

Has anyone had these installed, and do they work? Seems to be a lott of little rocks here in CO and I already kicked one up and chipped the paint. Pics would also be helpful.

What NgoRX8 said....

I installed the factory front splash guards on my NG. They do appear to work well and are very easy to install. It is most definetely a DIY.

I installed mine a few days after I bought my car and they seem to work quite nicely. VERY easy to install.

They do seem to stop a lot of dirt from getting kicked up onto the side of the car. (I can tell by the amount of dirt on the inside of them when I wash the car every week)

The side aero flares are still getting beat up a little bit but they're holding up alright. If I remember, I'll take some pics when I get home. (gotta take the cover off of it though since it's just resting in the garage this week)

Yeah I've got the front and rear splash guards also. They do help keep the sides and rear cleaner and helps prevent those nasty rock chips on the car.




Those specks you see are actually just a reflection of what's on the ground.
