I'd not get either if you are into looks at all... just keep it clean and simple.

actually...if you get the mudguards...and paint them ur OEM factory color...it can look very nice...the side molding is just a nono cause that ruins the car....try and maybe get the rain guards and the sunroof visor thrown in...or maybe the trunk tray.....

What are the rain guards?

How many of you guys wish you had the sunroof visor?

yeah I wouldnt get to crazy with the exterior accessories....

I dont have any of them but as blitze said the mud guards, when painted the same color isnt a bad idea. I was thinkin about that the other day after looking at how much dirt gets thrown up into the car.

Get what you think looks best. If you park in an area where other people are likely to open their car doors into your you may want to get the BSM. You can always take them off if you really don't like the way they look. The splash guards will help some. I have them both on my 05 NBP. It's a matter of personal taste.

Yes, but on black, they're practically invisible. This car's silver.

I'll probably go w/ Mud guards. Not sure how to paint them.

bring them to a bodyshop and have them painted. i have had SSM and WDP painted for about $175 per set. sanded, primed, baked and two coats of paint. make sure they use flexible paint. my mudguards match the body of the car, but not the bumper. if you find someone that cant match the silver exactly, you might have 3 different shades of silver.

3 different shades? Do you mean bumper, flaps, and car?

Also, can you provide a pick of you ssm w/ this done?

I really like the way Infiniti's done in on their '05s and newer.

Thanks,
