don't have the splash guards on their cars? If so, how is the paint directly behind your wheels (that the splash guard would theoretically protect) holding up? My '06 hasn't been through a winter yet (with all the salt and sand they put on the roads) so I haven't installed my splash guards yet. I was going to put them on the car after I had them painted to match that car's body color. Now I'm wondering if it's worth the time and expense; I guess I am questioning how much the splash guards really protect the paint on that car. I am hoping some '04/'05 owners (who been through a few winters with salty/sandy roads) can chime in.
