Default Who runs splashguards

Wondering who actually ran thier spashguards. The ones under the engine, not the wheel well ones. I cant decide weather or not to, because if I do it'll make it a pain to get under there. If not, my **** gets dirty.

yes, mud gets everywhere and so does road dust. i know it's gonna happen either way but at least it helps a little

I actually bought brand new ones from the local dealership. The others got torn off when I was backing out of somebody's garden last year

I ran w/o one of them, now my engine bay has a bit more corrosion. Didn't think it was goning to be as bad, but I view this whole car/engine as a 'test' anyways, not my final sedan project/motor. Naval Jelly should fix everything else I take off, since I made/sealed the wire harness better than stock.

Yeap, the winters are a 'B' around here on a car road salt, snow, etc. I have them and it really does help to minimize dirt and corrosion.

Yes, Keeps mud, dirt, snow 'n salt off of everything. It is a pain to always having to take them off to work but its worth it if it keeps your parts from corroding!

trust me, it's not that simple. The engine bay already has much more air going into it then it can get rid of.
