If I can have only one. Which I got the body kit, then how do you keep the wheel well (?) clean?

You can only have one, but why would you want both??? It would look awful ugly.. The splash guards would be above the bottom of the body kit.. Very bad idea.. Stick with just the body kit..
Secondly, the splash guards aren't going to to anything to keep your wheel well clean.. It keeps shit from flying onto your body from the wheel well..
You were asking how to keep the wheel well clean... They have invented this really cool thing.. It is called a water hose and soap.. Try it..

My dealer told me the same. I chose the splash guards because of the excessive snow/slush accumulation. It's easier to knock off the build-up in the street, rather than let it melt in the garage. The salt/sand/chemicals can't help the fininh too much either.

Hope it helps (although the kit is really attractive)!

Cool

Splash guards actually look better than I expected. I picked splash guards also as it snows here, too. Though splash guards(front and rear)in body color would be nicer!!!

Question Body kit and splash guards

I have a question about the body kit and splash guards. My dealership told me that they are mutually exclusive. I also noticied that none of the pictures of the TL-S have them both. On the Acura web site, you can pick them both (build your own acura) but is my dealership telling me the truth?

Thnx

You can NOT have body-kit with splash guard, you have to pick only ONE...

Dealer is telling you the truth.....
