Bought mine painted to match my car (TR) Can't remember from whom though. They're not very noticeable but I feel they help a lot. 2800 miles, and not a mark on either side.

Drove through two thunderstorms bringing my car home from the dealer. While dirty, the sides of the car were no where as bad as I expected.

Highly recommended.

I am very fussy about the appearance of my car. After considering the options, I installed custom splash guards that I fabricated from black sheets of vinyl. I did not want them to be too large so they only stick out and down enough to stop grit flying off the tires from hitting the paint - I will try to take photos and post them
