more wind noise with splash guards?

I'm considering getting splash guards if I buy a new TL.

Is the interior noise level higher with splash guards?

I don't think there's any additional noise. They work well to protect your lower panels and paint.

I didn't have splash guards at first but I put them on after about 500 miles on the car. No add noise at all. My TL is black. So the splash guards match great.

I had splash guards on mine for the first two years and have had them off for the past year. My observations/opinions:

1. The car looks better/cleaner without them.
2. There is no significant difference in wind noise.
3. My side panels don't get any dirtier with them off.
