Question Is Mud Guards Worth putting on?

I'm getting the factory underbody kit and I'm wondering if mud guards worth putting on.
I saw it on the picture without the underbody kit and it looks fine. I just think that it will look cheesy with the aerodynamic look on the TL-S.

Can you even put mudflaps on with body kit? My dealer said they couldn't do that. I wanted them, but they said they don't fit if you put a body kit on

Good! I thought about it, and even if they could install it, I think it would not look good. It will ruin the "sportiness" of the car.

Thats correct they won't fit with Body/Kit.
I ordered my car with mud guards & when it came in the service people told the salesman they won't fit with body/kit. I got my paperwork done over to reflect the cost change.

Cool

If the dealer throws in the muds free and you don't want the body kit - fine. I don't want the body kit. I have the muds, they look OK, but they don't seem to function - my 1/4 panels are full of dirt kicked up from the rear tires!

Getting Splash Guards free from dealer. And from what I understanded about splash guard is to keep small stones/debrits getting kicked up by tires and hitting againt the paint.... they are not designed to keep dirt away from the paint???

Just a thought...
