I put them on every car that I own.

Go to your local car parts store and find a good contoured (sculptured)
rubber type splash guard. Buy one set of each style (usually A B C and D
styles). Try each of them right on the store's lot to see how well do
they conform to the wheel well. Keep in mind that most cars (my 200 for
one) will take two different styles between fronts and rears.

Return the not needed ones. Go home, jack up and_level_the car and
remove_the _wheels, then proceed to installing the splash guards. Ask an
assistant to eyeball their vertical alignment before screwing them in
place. Most of the do-it-yourself installed splash guards that I see are
pointed outwards. This happens when you jack up only one side at a time
and don't have an assistant to help with alignment.

IMO a car looks barefooted without them. Let alone getting the ugly tar
splash marks all over the rocker panels and underside of the rear
bumper.

Or maybe it's just an old habit of mine. In the old Soviet Union a car
with at least one missing splash guard couldn't pass an annual
inspection.
