Default Those arent dirt shields...they are splash guards...
If you drive where it rains a lot...you will regret removing those...if you drive only occasionally in the heavy rain, you will be fine.

to be right though, you should cover the ABS sensor with some heat wrap (mine aren't though)...

Default Now if a noob asked that question you would have been all over his ****.
But since it's a Senior AW member, you just give the answer.
