...that is the question. I see a lot of cars with the mudflaps, and though I've never thought I'd say this but the ones on the G's, in fact on all new Nissans look very cool. When they were pulling a nail out of my tire earlier today I asked about them and the go for $120..painted! Not a bad price. It gives it a sort of ground effect feel.

What do you guys think?

no... mudflaps are not for sport cars... ever see a mud flap on a ferrari? i don't even think when the g35's came out that it came with mudflaps.. they don't even serve their purpose.. they're just for aesthetic looks imo... too small to begin with... but like you said, they are not that bad...

LOL, if you're a ricer than ya But seriously, on the G they don't even look like mudflaps. Unless I'm talking about something else here, but I don't think so.

G's are fat enough, don't need any extra weight!

you guys are crazy... the splash guards look awesome on the coupe. its also a cheap way to bring the rear of the car lower to match the front and side skirts. Go for it!

I actually ordered a set for my sedan and will be putting them on when I put my rims back on. They're nothing like mud flaps you see on other cars, they blend well into the car and will hardly be noticable when installed.

I say go for it, aside from keeping a little bit of mud/salt/whatever from hitting your car, they'll also put it that much lower to the ground visually.

It is settled then. I'm ordering them today boys. Like srv2 says, they're nothin like mud flaps and they look like part of some kind of skirt package. Besides, they're not all that expensive either so......

I say get a set...

When you run some nasty black stuff over with your car you will thank us...

It will just be on the splash guard and not on the sides of the car!

Trust me I had this happen!

I like the splash guards.

I got mine a while back. Thought about taking them off, didn't like the look.

Mine scrape over speed bumps.
