black or colored splash guards?

opinions please:

i was looking into splash guards for my 2004 Acura TL (Abyss Blue Pearl) and am trying to figure out if the regular black ones would be okay or if the color matched ones are the way to go. any opinions and pics on either?

if you really want them then i say go color matched, otherwise just leave them off. i think they look much better off. if anything i say try to save up and get the aspec body kit.

color matched ABSOLUTELY......I saw one without while driving last week and it was kinda lame....
And the price difference is not horrible either.

AND vinnier6 had it right.....very easy install (but do have to take off back tires)

I had my rear ones off yesterday while installing my TL-S tails, but leaving them off would look bad because they've left marks in the bumper..

Colormatched. I bought black ones and was going to paint them but then I got the A-Spec kit and sold them. Getting the Acura colormatched ones are better than getting a bodyshop to do it. It wouldn't be cheap and I bet it wouldn't last.
