I don't have the splash guards and I have no rock chips but my car only has 2400 miles on it. It could just be a matter of time. How much do they cost from the dealer?

I think it will help more with road grime and water pickup than rock chips. I would get splash guards just for that reason.

I don't have splash guards...

I picked up my car about 10 days ago, I have about 125 miles so
far, I haven't washed it yet (too cold). The dealer put on way too much
tire dressing and where the splash guards would normally be is where
the excess tire dressing has ended up.

So I believe they do serve a purpose, I personally like the way they look.

I have researched prices and they are about $75 per pair, I think the
cheapest I have seen them was $72 a pair. They do come pre-painted
per your color code.

This is where I bought mine. I like them a lot. I did have to go to Nissan and buy the mounting hardware. I think they assume you have stock mud guards and you will have the hardware. I brought in the instructions that can be found on the forum so they could get me the correct parts because they had no idea what I needed.
