Yes...It will help the back of your car from getting scratch and ding up from the rocks.

Yes. Originally I was not going to get them until they showed me one of the sale guy's TL with them on and I decided they looked good. Only problem was the day I bought the car they only had 1 set in stock that matched my car and 1 of the 4 splash guards was cracked. Came back a week later, they hadn't bothered to check the parts when they came in and when they went to put them on they noticed 1 of the 4 had been scratched and repainted at the factory. They put them all on anyway and I went back a 3rd time (after making sure they actually checked the damn parts this time before I drove there) and got the scratched one replaced. Only took 3 weeks for a set of splash guards

Yes, I just put a set on and its not hard at all. I saw some complaints about the paint being scratched so I decided to try and prevent the problem, although I will leave them on. I went to the auto parts store and bought clear vinyl door edge guard. I installed it on the part of the splash guard that touches the paint and all is well.

I say yes if you get the color-matched set and if you drive in areas with snow (meaning road salt, sand, muck) or gravel. Thanks, ejbrandt, for the tip about applying clear door edge guard first.
