do you think splash guards look good?

do you think splash guards look good on coupes?
im debating wether or not to get them 1. because of the price (if i can find them cheaper i may change my mind) and 2. because when i get rims i dont know how theyll look

I had them on my RR coupe for a while... with rims. I just took them off when I got my car lowered... But my car isn't that low, so they may go back on... I don't like having mud everywhere. IMO they look fine... not too much of a difference. You can check out my member pics to get an idea of what they look like.

they keep my car clean. i mean i ran over muddy dirt roads spinning my tires like a dumbas$ and my car still shined afterwards. they do their job well i think, and i dont think that they look bad(probably dont make it look better too)

consider this, if you cruise around going from one place to another and not trying to show off your car to the extreme, then they are probably perfect, if you would have your car in a show, take em off

i donno, thats what i think, and if your car is lowered, then ya might really wanna think about if you can put em on and not scrape em.
, in my sig, my car has them on too.

i like them, and have actually gotten compliments on the look (i have a sedan BTW, but same diff). they do their job, and on my NBP sedan don't stand out in the least, they don't rub (i don't know how you people are doing that with lowered cars, i have mine lowered 2" and have never had a problem, i have more problem with my exhaust) and blend the wheel well lines better. i'm actually thinking of a way to integrate them into the installation and painting of my body kit when i get it, both for the original look and for the protection.

they dont look that bad compared to previous generations, lagre... and they pretty much do what their supposed to do and keep your car clean. I took my front ones off because it would scrape all over the place though. =)

i don't mind them, but I'm leaning towards taking them off for at least the summer. They do serve a good purpose though...

Don't you find that mudguards make your rims look smaller?

I'm just thankful for all the nicks my mudguards have saved my rear from having. But once dropped, they're gone.

agreed.

I don't like how you can see the inside of the rear bumper when you're looking into the rear wheelwells. It's like it's missing a part of the wheelwell wall.. That and the dirt and mud. It gets all over the the lower sides behind the wells.

Ive had mine through day one. i have a 2.25 drop front and 2 rear and i only scrape on the speed bumps and it is not that bad. IM going to be painting them to match my car(blue) so it has a smoother look to them.

I like splash guards on my Civic coupe. I have an unmodified silver HX and I think the guards add something, and more importantly keep the rear of my car from collecting mud and sprayed dirty water.

I have them on mine, but since its a black coupe, its not as obvious. Have a look at my pics.

I like them there, especially during the winter to protect the body from salt sprays.
Very stock look.

The dealer had them installed on my car when I got it (which they made into a big deal, but they wouldn't go for floor mats lease: ) and though I must admit they do help keep dirt and mud from splashing, they are too stock looking for me and they scrape over speedbumps so once I get my body kit they are gone since they have to be removed to put on the side skirts anyway.
