Should I just take them off? Is there any potential damage from driving if I don't have them on? I really don't want to paint them and have them put back on. Give me your opinions....take them off or leave them on in black.....

 

I'll buy them from you, if you will be getting rid of them..

I have WDP TL-S, I would paint them WDP and install them... It's more of a function than a look, it depends what you want out of them.

And Welcome to AZ!

 

Take them off unless you color match, color-matched definitely looks better.

 

teknoking, how much do you want to pay for the 4 mudguards? They're about a year old. They were replaced a year ago at a body shop when I was having other work done.

 

^ to be fair, post the sale in the Black Market... And name your price... I'm a jew, you don't want me to name my own price

PS You have the oem screws correct?

 

get it color matched

 

In my opinion based on the last two vehicles I had without splashguards...I did notice small chips along the lower half of the doors & rear bumper.
Being that I own my TL, it was in my best interest to have splashguards. I took them off immediatly upon purchasing my car and had them color matched. It's not a big deal to uninstall/reinstall them.

 

Can someone please post the rear view?

I want to see how they will look with a TL-S rear....

 

dat iz 1 secksi car

 

how much does it cost to get your mudguards colormatched? and where do you guys recommend? bodyshops around here and a dime a dozen if you want quality work

 

^ They are so small, and in such a "going to get banged up area", I would think you could basically spray these yourself and it'd turn out fine.

If it were me, I'd freaking Maaco those little things, lol. Long as the color matching is good.

 

My 04 had em: my 08 doesn't. For looks I would leave them off. However, they do help avoid potential rock chips and tend to keep the lower rear of the car cleaner longer. Depends on what's more important to you. I really don't miss them.

 

i would just buy some oem color matched guards from ebay....

 

^ Thanks! Good find

How's it look now that they're gone?

 

I believe it looks cleaner, I'd love to see though WDP matched guards...

 

Are you're wheels chrome? Looks nice

 

I had mudguards on every car I owned. If they are color matched, they visually lower the car. Also they prevent small rocks to scratch the paint and to be thrown to other cars. Here how it looks:

 

Here some more pictures from different angles:

 

^ Thank you! Perfect this is actually what I wanted to see...

And nope, I'm not getting them.

 

now that u took them off, A-spec it up, u will never look back in regret from taking them off lol

 

I want a set of rears...my TL-S only came with front guards!?

 

yeah the wheels are TL-S wheels that are chrome dipped through the local Acura dealership

 

i had to take off my splash guards cuz i got the lip kit installed. i got it taken off within a week of owning the car. it's WDP if anyone is interest. PM me =)
IMO if you don't have the lip kit, it's nicer to have the splash guards on, color matched of course.

 

hey Korrupted------ did you have those color matched installed?? or did they come with the car?? have u noticed them helping keep of the gunk?? i've been noticing a lot of tar etc.along the bac sides of the wheels and they look sweet-my ride is the same color,etc

 

I installed them myself, pretty easy.
It helps a little, but I try to keep my car waxed; so the gunk comes off easier

 

runninlow3 do you have anymore pics of your car? I would like to see the front a-spec lip with the splash guards. Thankss

 

My car came with non-painted ones and i took them off. After taking them off i noticed the paint had been damaged, the rears definitely left marks on both sides that i couldn't rub out.

I think if you do alot of highway driving these will save you elbow work (rubbing out road tar) and also rock chips. Just make sure to take them off and clean all the gravel out and give the underlying paint a good coat of wax occasionally.

 

I was considering the colormatched splash guards since you can get them on ebay for like $100 from the acura dealer... but I kind of want the Aspec kit as well... so i think i will jsut hold out for the Aspec next season instead of throwing down money now then removing and getting Aspec later on.

 

tape around your mudguard , preventing from scratch on bumper

 

anyone paint the stock ones? how much did it cost?

or is it more worth while to just buy them for 100 or so painted off of ebay?
