Default Anyone have the Mud Flaps / Splash Guards?

I'm going to be ordered my rubber floor mats and trunk cargo liner ASAP - and if the mud flaps / Splash guards are worthwhile, I'll throw them in and save on shipping. My wife likes the idea of them, too, which means the balance is swaying towards getting them.

Any advice, input, pictures, thoughts on the subject?

I have them (sorry no pic yet) and they've definitely helped keep the car cleaner, though a front tire still managed to kick up a rock into my clearcoat when the car was a few weeks old. They are made of hard plastic though. So if you back up a little too far onto a curb or parking block you might crack one.

They work on the S-Line body? Didn't know that...

Yep, they're universal. But not sure about cars fitted with the OEM side and rear spoilers, though.

Just got a set of splash guards. The instructions for both front and rear show that drilling is required. Hmm, I wasn't planning on that. Oh well, i guess once they're on, they're on--no turning back.

Yeah mine arrived a few days ago and I didn't realize I'd have to remove all four wheels to get this done. A project for another day. (Or year)
