I see almost 99% of the cars on here have them. During my next car wash i am going to remove them and see how I like it without them... Anyone else feel the same way ?

And if anyone has a Pearl white with sport wheels without them and can post a pic I would appreciate it.. Im just guessing it is gonna look cleaner and maybe put more of the attention to the lines of the car instead of breaking it up with the splash guards installed...

Be very careful about removing the rears. Unlike the 350, the rears on the 370are attached with double sided tape, as well as the screws. You stand a good chance of removing paint on the body panel.

^^^ he is right.... there is double stick tape in the rear.... jus peel em off slowly...

Actually I didn't realize the option for them. Mine doesn't have them, can you get them after market, I like the look and they are practical as well.

didymus · 12-04-2009, 08:34 AM

I don't like em

shumby · 12-04-2009, 08:37 AM

ya can only get them at your dealer as far as i know. e-bay might have them though

ZPirate · 12-04-2009, 08:45 PM

I like the splash guards too. Not only the look, but how they protect the car. My car didn't come with them. It's the first thing I added.

If you don't like them simply remove them. Only a couple of screws and a pin/tape hold them on.

Do you see what I am trying to say? If there weren't for those splash guards, the wheel wall wouldn't look complete (at least in the rear)

But again this is my opinion. I completely understand if you don't like them

.

The car looks real good with Splash guard IMO. I think I actially might put them on mine. Should I go to the dealer to get a set installed? Might be too pricey? What'chu guys think?

They look way better that the 350 ones.

Thanks for the link! I'm not sure if I should install them myself though. I don't like messing things up on my Z.

You should def try to do it yourself. That's how you start building up your confidence. You'll feel really proud too at the end.

We have a section where we keep all the .pdf manuals. Here's the pdf instructions on how to install them. Take a look and I have confidence that you can DO IT!

^^^^ agreeed ak is absolutely right u feel ten times better when u do it urself... its more fullfilling when u mod urself

dont be scared the mud flaps were easy to install... u jus gotta take ur wheels off if u wanna do a good job....

Zsteve · 12-05-2009, 09:42 AM

I like the spalsh guards too but I think the shape would look even better if they were smoothly molded into the stock pieces so you wouldnt see any lines from laying on top of another piece. They should have just made it part of the bumper and side skirt from the get go.
