I've searched the forum but didn't find anything.... does anyone have the OEM splash guards installed? If so, do you have a pic? I am curious about getting them, but would like to see a TSX with them before I pay the $85.

 

I have em.. here is a pic I took when I first bought the car.. off my camera phone.

 

take a peek in the photo gallery. under 2009 grigio metallic painted grill, i just posted several new pics of my car, scroll to the bottom, i have the oem splash guards

 

NICE!! So the splash guards looks like they blend in well. Not like the 1st gen TSX where the splash guards were black and not color coded. Did you install the deck lip spoiler? Is it the OEM?

 

I had it installed, and yes it is OEM. it really makes the back end. and yeah, the splash guards look really nice.

 

They look good, since they don't protrude too much, and are body colored.
They only protect the body against small splashes..does nothing for my car when it rains

 

I just wanted to say they're really good quality too. Some splash guards are really cheap but these fit well and are well made. Definitely worth the price compared to some others.

 

Yes they are very nice quality, paint match is excellent, and installation is very easy.
They don't protect against everything, but the occasional splash thru a puddle is mostly contained.

 

I think I will get the splash guards. And after looking at kristy7911 's pics, I like the read deck lip spoiler. I had an 06 TSX with the wing spoiler, and I saw an 09 on the road last week with the wing, but I like the looks of the lip better on the 09. I'd have to have the dealer install the lip spoiler though and that will probably cost about $100 + the lip. But hey, its my baby!

 

my dealer wanted to charge $140, glad I found someone else to install it.

 

Mine came with the side guards and mud guards fromo the dealer, they look ok, but I'm wondering if they cover the area the factory side skirts do, in case I want to run the skirts later.

 

from what i understand, if you have the side skirts and rear aero bumper, you cant use the splash guards.

 

Yeah, I wasn't talking about using them together, but rather would a side skirt cover over the area where a mudguard was behind the front wheel on the fender.

Like...does the skirt cover over where a mud guard was so you couldn't see any lines made by a mud guard over time.

 

I got the splash guards from a website costed me 79 bucks put them on myself very easy to do took me maybe 5-10 minutes

 

My dealer had them already installed... no added charge. They are color coded and hard as bricks. I enjoy them.

 

Has anyone inspected the paint behind the splash guard after some usage? Most 1st gen guys removed them due to paint damage.

 

Yeah, that's what I was thinking about removing them now before it does make a line in the paint like those stupid windflectors on the sunroofs that some dealers install. They always chafe the paint where the seal meets the roof.
