Default Regarding OEM Splash Guards...

I was looking to buy/install these on my 4-door 2006 Accord EX when I noticed that almost no other sedans in my garage (indoor pay garage for work) have these.

So, my questions are:
1. Do they really "protect" my car from road debris? Do they really make a difference?
2. Other than the $ and the style implications, is there any reason I should not be getting these?


Thank you in advance.

1- Yes, they really do keep debris from riding up the tire towards the rocker panels behind the front wheel and onto the rear bumper in the back.
2-your question is invalid, there are no style implications... they look good on the car.

2. There is nothing wrong not having it. I have it on both cars now because the dealer was trying to make extra $$$ and package it in. I had no choice. I would not "pay for them." IMO, they don't make the car more ugly or make the car look better. Very netural in terms of style.

Good to know. Thank you both.
By style "implications," I was not trying to imply that the car would look better/worse but different. Beauty is always in the eye of the beholder.
