Default Is there a good reason not to use these?

Hi all.

Where I live, it snows and they don't use salt. They use magnesium chloride and sand [:'(]. This stuff they are calling sand has lots and lots of small pebbles and when I have to drive through it - I get to hear my wheels kick that crap onto the car.

I am considering putting splash guards on my B7, front and rear. Looking at all the pics from the members of this forum, I don't see anyone else using them. Is this a bad idea?

I have seen them in person, and they look quite a bit shorter than that pic. That is an awful picture. Still, I am concerned at screwing up the look of the car.

I think you've got a great looking car... I agree with 18T, I'ld do it and find a way to remove in the summer. Protect your ride!
