Default Installed my splash guards today.....

I bought a set of rear splash guards at Expo this past weekend for $15 bucks. I figured, if I didn't like them all I'd be out was $15 bucks.....but after I got them on, I like them.....
I called the distributor and they still made them and sold them, they sell for $48 a pair from the distributor.

Not bad at all. Could you PM me the brand and whether they require drilling or not? Thanks.

Added painted ones from MAM. The previous owner got something stuck between the tire and fender and screwed up the paint...these covered it.

A word of caution to those who have installed the specific splash guards noted in this thread. I had the same installed behind the front wheels and kept them on even after lowering my Z. They would scrape on things but nothing too terrible. Then I took a trip up Hwy 1 to Monterey from Santa Ynez where I live and hit a rock about the size of a lemon and it ripped the front guard back pulling the screw out along with a square of underbody about 2x2 inches. Lesson...be careful with the fronts as they are much lower that the rears. I removed mine from the fronts but left on the rears. Still got the big hole but taped it up for the time being. Lucky it can't be see.
