Splash guards on a lowered TL. Yes or no?

Now that mine is lowered a little more than I wanted, the splash guards are sitting dangerously low in the front. I've been looking in the photo section trying to figure out if I like the look better with or without the guards.

Do most of you guys remove the splash guards when lowering the TL? Any opinions on the looks from those that have removed them? Anyone removed just the front?

fyi... leave them on... if you don't plan to go aspec you will have scuff lines where the splashguards use to be

you will never rub splash guards... don't worry

ps. they work.. I didn't have them and when I ran a 255 series tire I had puddle splash marks up to the door handles

My friend was lowered with splash guards and he rubbed them on stuff, so he took em off. I say its up to you. If you are not rubbing them I wouldn't bother, because they do work good for preventing splash.

I'm sitting pretty low and kept my splash guards. I only rub on the higher speed bumps (don't really mind).

I scrape my front two splash guards everywhere i go. No joke, my left side skirt is about to fall off from rubbing so much.

I think it depends on the color. Some cars can pull it off. I had mine on my old car and I was pretty low everytime I go over a speed bump of some sort it would scrape. It also depends how low you are planning to go.
