Just to get the salt off the areas that would be covered by the splash guards.. Otherwise you'll be ok as long as you don't mind your wheels falling off.. JP

yea its fine to run without them, but there will be a bunch of crap everywhere. and the wheel well one keeps crap from getting all in your door and crap. i would get them just cause they look better, and helps keep the car clean.

I roll with 15x7 Konig Quickk's with 205-50-15's and they don't stop dirt, water, and mud from going down the side of my door and rear fender but im sure it helps the undercarraige, you should still try to clean as much as you can when you can.

If you really think about it they would slightly reduce drag at higher speed by eliminating some air pockets, but nothing noticable. I will eventually mold some panels to "flat bottom" my EJ just like the new TL and Indy cars. Not like I need more stability at high speeds (got tons of $ in suspension) but it's always nice.. I think new wheel wells would be like $35 from the dealer, a waste if you don't see snow.

They are not all that important. I do not have any of the liners, and my car is perfectly fine. My car is too low to have them, so I had no choice, but it is fine without them.

i scrape mine all the time and as far as creating drag, I doubt that, they are very flexible and you should not have problems with losing them cuz car is to low...
