SPLASH GUARD QUESTION HELP!

Anybody think the black splash guards would look good on a CGM with the black stripe. Thinking of getting the guards but just had a thought on black to break up the cgm a little and have the guards match the stripe.

My view - while the black splash guards may provide contrast to the CGM they'll look like plain old black splash guards whereas a color-matched CGM splash guards are a finishing touch to the body color - IMO.

As always - go with what makes you happy.

IMO the color matched guards are better because they don't stand out like a sore thumb. Why draw attention to the splash guards unless they are the best looking part of a car?

definitely go with the CGM Splash Guards. That will look much better.

Splash Guards (AKA: 1/4 FLares), should be body color when possible. But I tell you, they save the side AND THE REAR from getting dirty like I cannot believe. MAJOR DIFFERENCE!~

I have a similar dilemma, it seems the splash guards don't come in ABM, but I NEED them on my car. I'm not sure how the black ones would look on my car, but I'm also not sure how well paint will stick to them. I don't want to paint them only to have it start to peel after a couple of years......uggh

I'm ordering on Wednesday, btw!!!!!!!!!!!
