Splash Guards

Has anyone installed the splash guards, if so was it worth it and how do they look?

Worth it. Less work washing off road sand.

Both for $110.
I like the looks.
Installation-
Front: uses pre-existing wheel housing speed nut holes.
Rear: one pre-existing and three new ones to be made by self tapping screws.

Well, they didn't really help in the snow, 'cept to catch a bunch, but I'm hoping...

they will be better here in the spring also. I'm gonna keep 'em on awhile.

I've got them, I like them, given what ends up hanging off them after driving in snow/slush...

Given the slurry that ends up hanging off the splash guards when I drive through snow/slush, I'm glad that cr*p is no longer thrown along the sides of my car instead...
