None for me thanks.

 

 

None for me...however I never knew they were shipping guards until I joined this forum...kinda thought they looked cool... hehehe

 

That's ok Dave...before I joined...never knew you guys sold gas by the liter....or that at the grocery you sold milk in bags....aint this Forum great?

 

I'm a firm believer in the whole 'you do you' when it comes to peoples cars. With that said, when I see people driving around with them on, I always think that they don't know they are 'supposed' to come off after delivery.

 

If you are asking my opinion I would say no but do what you want not what others are saying.

 

No. I also removed the plastic from my Nav screen, the tags hanging on my leather seats, the window stickers, and any other factory and dealer added stuff that isnt part of the car.

This is the correct answer. With the bad roads, poorly designed road and driveway entrances in our area the splitter is going to scrape sometimes no matter how careful or skilled a driver you are. The splitter guards from the factory only work for on/off car carrier transitions. The splitter guards shown in the picture work.

 

Same as walking around with the label still on the brim of your baseball hat.
Your great grandmother’s couch with the plastic still on it.
Walking in your Timberland boots with the tags dangling around.
Your ipad with the protective clear film on the screen.

Good, bad or indifferent, that’s how it looks. You decide if you like it, your car.

 

None for me. I also watched video of a guy the left them on. He took them off and his factory splitter had become stained and damaged from all the dirt and debris that gets stuck underneath the guards over time. Take them off!

 

Mine were already scratched and have a permanent line. I took them off the minute I pulled over in the parking lot a mile from the dealership.

 

So far I’m the only dumb ass with them on

 

It is only $135 dollars to replace the piece so it's really not that big of a deal.

 

Honestly, I get worried pulling that big girl into parking spots with blocks or curbs. I figure I’d rather scratch them up then the splitter itself.
I wish I had a front camera

 

Agree that it would be nice to have a front camera but I believe most of us, myself included back into parking spots. Use the rear camera.

 

Like Troy on Swamp People says. “Oh my God”

 

How is this a question ?

 

I like them, it's a first impression thing and lets me know who I am dealing with lol. Not a fan, also they actually tear up the splitter.

 

I'm not a fan. Took mine off as soon as I got the car home.

I usually fall on my chin. Had to have stitches once.

 

In my opinion, if you leave the guards on it is more of a reflection of you. You either don't know how to park your car or when you make a mistake you are too cheap to replace a $150 piece of plastic. Either way it gives me a visual indicator to stay as far away from you as possible.

 

LOL.
They are not "Splitter Guards", they are splitter protectors for use in shipping.
They are the equivalent of the Styrofoam protectors used on new TV's, while still in their shipping boxes.
If you are someone who enjoys keeping the Styrofoam on your wall mounted television, more power to you.

 

You took the words outta my mouth. I was just thinking Styrofoam packing.

 

Ok, Ok, Ok this thread went sideways now no matter what we won't hear from anyone that leaves theirs on.
I just got my Hellcat last summer I guess I'm being overprotective of her. I did see the video posted about the dirt that gets trapped behind marking up the splitter.

So, the road to recovery is to admit your problem...I will remove my splitter guards (or protectors, but there really is no difference in the words) once the snow goes away.

I can park and drive just fine, thank you guys for the concerns...

All my cars are my babies and I just wanted them to look and stay nice

 

Phew. Saved another one. My job here is finished.

 

They look good in a box with the orange tag that came on the mirror.

 

It is out in the "shed" with the damn scrap lumber and firewood.

 

Phew. Saved another one. My job here is finished.

good job....now just get Hickster to speak English,,,and we'll call it a day...

 

Workin on the job of the day. Sometime ya feel like a nut sometimes ya dont

 

Well, here's a cat that wouldn't have a problem with them...

 

Not true, you are just the only one man enough that has them on or likes them on to admit it. Do what works for you!

On a yellow jacket...I can see it...also seen them painted red on a black car...looked different...I wouldn't take delivery of either of my cars with them on...but if you wanna leave em on your car...go for it...somewhere along the line someone thought it was cool to leave em on...probably the same guy who thought it would be cool for guys to wear their hair up in a bun...well I don't know what happened to the protector...or my hair for that matter....but there both history

 

I would just wrap or paint the bumper then use the ZL1 Addons bumper guards to protect it.

 

Just no

 

Just say NO!
Now I know what Nancy Reagan was talking about......
