Splash Guard Pics
I installed my Mid America Splash Guards this weekend. It was a very simple project and only took about 20 minutes. Here are some pics of them installed on my 05 Mag Red power top vert, Auto, Nav, F55

I think I'll be ordering these. They should look OK black-on-black.

Yeah, at speeds over 550 MPH they will rip off due to turbulence
I personally don't care for them because (a) they don't look like they'll do much in terms of actual splash protection and (b) the rear one doesn't look stock - it should be flush (smooth) at the top - you shouldn't see the radiused edge of it. Just my opinion. YMMV

I think if you rounded off the fronts like the rears are, it would look a lot better, and should protect almost as well. Bad photo chop, but something like this:

The more I look at them, the better they look.

They look similar to the ones I installed on my car when I got it back in December. Mine cost $6 but mine stick out less in front. I do think they are a good idea - for me - but everyone makes their own judgment,
