Splashguard or not to splash guard?

Asheth · 01-09-2009, 11:34 AM

What are you opinions? Those that have a 370z what do you think of them tasteful?

I am pricing now with a dealer that does special deliveries for Military personnel stationed in Europe and Im trying to figure out if I should get that option or not. Also there is something on the build for extra cost paint? Havent heard anything about that

I believe Educ8r has them on his new Z.

I believe they fit really well with the car. I know I will be getting them.

Here is the splash-guard on his car: IMG_6454 on Flickr - Photo Sharing!

Not a fan... but useful if you live where it rains a lot!

I would seriously consider them, at least the front one! The front, of the extended rear fender, may/could get "peppered" by rocks and pebbles from the front tire!

I have them on my 350. I didn't really care one way or the other at the time, but now that I look at them, it seems to give the 350 a tougher look. So just based on looks alone I dig it, then there is the functionality which is also a plus.

The front one on the 370Z blends in really well with the bodywork.

Might as well get them. If you don't like them, just take them off.

Hmm, I didn't even notice that car had the rears at first. It might be the pics, but they really go with the bodywork.

Agreed. I'm not a fan of them on the 350z, but the front ones blend very well on the 370z and enhance the look of the car.

AK370Z · 02-25-2009, 01:27 AM

Def. yes. It's a very cheap add on and makes the car look "complete" appearance wise.

Also, the splashguards will catch rubber from those sticky tires that you use for the track.

I thought it was funny picking up chunks of Hoosier A6's from my father's C6 Z06 after some laps around the track. At least with the splash guards, they won't make it too far.

I went with the splashguards. I think they looked decent on the black.

I'm not a fan.
I plan to clear bra the entire rocker panel.
I did it on another car & it worked great.
I had them wrap the seams & you didn't even know it was there.

I have ClearBra on the entire rocker panel. They have a piece that protects the front splashguard.

They came on my car, red, and I didn't even notice them. They blend in well.
