Splash guards on or off?
I picked up my TL about two weeks ago and went back last week for the protection package items that were out of stock when I picked up the car. The installed the wheel locks and the trunk tray. I requested them NOT to install the splash guards and just put them in the trunk.
I'm not convinced that I want the splash guards on because they might ruin the lines of the car. I love the way the car looks now and I don't know if the splash guards will look good or not.
What do you guys think?

Even with my WDP they are not very noticeable. They are easy to put on if you want to do it yourself. No holes to drill and just a few plastic clips or screws. Make sure to wax good underneath where they will go.
You could always put front and back on one side of the car to see how you like it.

Should we make this a poll?

The dealer had installed them when I bought the car. I had them removed before I bought the car as they make the car look like a civic. I clean my car often and it's no problem, but if you don't then you should put them on.

I do not like them. IMO, I think they detract from the lines of the car. I do remember specifically commenting on this when I was looking for cars because every car on the lot had them. They do serve a useful function, and may look better on some colors than others.

You can check pics of my SSM with mud guards here:

Also, I've had plenty of opportunity here in AA to see if they work. They work very well and keeping dirt off.

If you have a kit, they won't fit. I don't think they look that great.
