Scraping issues with OEM splash guards?

I am still debating on whether or not I should get OEM splash guards for my 06 TL to protect it from salty winter conditions. With the standard suspension, anyone have scraping issues driving through steep driveways, etc? Do they sit pretty low?

I have the splash guards and I havent had any kind of issues with them. But my car is not drop and I see that yours neither, so I guess they are no problems

No problem here. Just make sure you get the body colored ones.

I've never scrapped the OEM splash guards on my stock-suspension '05 TL-- it's the front underbody spoiler below the radiator that is scrapes driveways.

Agreed. That damn thing scrapes on everything.

My splash guards are gone in front of the front wheels (IIRC), and I'm letting nature run it course on the one under the radiator. Eventually asphalt will plane it down to the point that it doesn't scrape anymore.......

If your going to add them make sure you put a strip of electrical tape just under then because the flex and will wear an imprint in the paint.
