splash guards

are those bad boys worth getting? i'm thinking about em, they look kinda cool.. is it an easy install, just snap them on?

hmm.. $80 at nissan-accesories.com i wonder if it's cheaper anywhere else.

I got mine at Courtesyparts.com, I think they were a little cheaper there. I think they look cool too. The install is pretty easy. Put em on and screw em in, one of the flexible screw drivers would've helped on the rears, or I could've removed the wheel. There are holes pre-drilled.

Yeah they come with screws. Take a look in your wheel well, you'll see the screws.

Don't you have to drill holes for the splash guards? I could have sworn that you have to drill. I could be wrong though.

For the rear ones, Nissan made little indentations where you would drill so it's pretty straightfoward..

I think I was able to just screw through the predrilled indentation... I can't remember for sure.

it will also protect the side of the car from any scratches or chips to the paint caused by gravel or rocks

On most of the loaded Maxes they installed dull black splashguards. You were lucky becuase now you can get ones that match your paint.

I did contorting on the rears and just turned the wheel on the fronts.
