As an autocrosser, with big sticky tires, I love them. Keeps the small rocks, sand, OPR from spraying/sandblasting down the side of the car.

So much hate for the Splash guards? I love these things. Not only they protect your paint, they complete the look of your car (exterior wise). It didn't came with my 350Z but I installed them myself. I wasn't 100% sure how the 370Z splash guards would look but once I saw them in "Educ8r's" car, I was SOLD! Thanks, Alex.
Take a look at these pics Compare pic. Still no love?

I like the look on the Coupe, but not on the Roadster. Not sure why, exactly, as the cars are the same below the beltline, but it's how I feel.
I like the functionality, though.

Had them thrown in with the purchase, but didn't think I'd like the look, so didn't install them.
I just got fed up with the side spray of grit and dirt, and gave in and put them on. I was really surprised at what a difference they make for such tiny guards. And hey,... they don't look bad at all.

Don't have them on mine, but kinda wish I had them. The splash guards kinda make the Z look like there's a body kit on.

I'd like to have a set, bought the carbon ones when I first bought the car not knowing they wouldnt fit the nismo (shop said they would)
They are pretty subtle and will likely save you from some rock chips...I'm all for them

I like them, Personally I don't think they are useless and they really arn't all that noticeable. Though I notice right away if a Z doesn't have them.

Well one thing I can tell you from a point of view from someone who tracks his car is that the front one would definitely help as I always have to clay bar that area to get the rubber off (as well as right in front of the rear wheel). The rear doesn't seem to be needed whatsoever as I never have anything on that section after track use.
