Splash Guards?
does splash guards help alot?
because one dealer that im looking at has 2 40th in stock but only 1 of them, looks like from pictures, have Splash Guards installed. I have heard/read it is impossible to order 40th splash guards anymore.. so... was wondering if it helps to protect paints and stuff.... sorry if this is dumb question.... |

After hearing all the rocks kicking around while driving, I tend to think those splash guards have a lot to do with keeping the rocks from scratching up the rear quarter panels and fenders... Although I could just be a complete idiot with this assumption

My buddy at the dealership knows me pretty well. I am a cheap *** penny pincher to a fault. He "made" me spend the $ to get the splash guards put on mine because it didn't come with them. He says they make a big difference and are worth the money. I trust his opinion.

I agree with Shado, I got a really good rock chip from a rock coming up and getting the drivers side door. After installing the splash guards I have not had one.
+ I think they look good!

I thiught the 40th is supposed to come with splash guards? What's these stories of people not having them on their 40ths?
You can always buy then separate and have them painted, since you cannot buy them already painted the 40th quartz color.

This pic is 20mm front and back... you can see why I wanted 25mm in the back. Had 20 rear and 15 front... then 20 front... then 25 rear. I'll try to take a few pics soon. |
