Some of the side skirt manufactures are working on splash guards that fit with the skirts they manufacture. I am waiting for that to happen. In my opinion the factory guards do not fit well with the add on skirts.

Technically mine fit fine together, see photo in above post. They are not the matching CF to my roof and side skirts and I thought of removing them, but they provide some small amount on protection. In the rear the splash guards are not near the side skirts. I am happy with the combined appearance, had I not bought them first and found they were little help for the rocker panels I would have just bought the ones for the rear.

zymurgy- my question was has anybody suffered damage. i don't care what they are called. if they cost $20 and don't work that is too much. it was a simple question. guess a simple answer is too difficult.!!!

Easy answer - they are NOT enough to protect the paint by themselves (as has been mentioned by several posters)

Someone has really thin skin. Yes, your question was has anybody suffered damage. You also made a statement that they were "costly". I replied to your statement. I also tried to educate you to the proper terminology. Instead of learning, you get your panties in a wad. Good Grief!
