hello, im new here. just bought my brand new grand prix white 20003 s2000 tuesday. i absolutely love my car, but, to my dismay, its already dirty. looking more closely i realized the car just splatters all this road sh*t over the side of my cars. is it just me? do s2000's come with mud guards? i looked aroudn at some pictures and i couldnt see if some did. anyone know?

 

I remember someone installed some mud-guards he bought from Autozone, and looked quite clean, surprisingly. Try searching for that thread. But it's one of those love-it or hate-it things...

 

so its not just me. k. thnx

 

If you don't wish to custom make a set of mudguards, I would suggest you get the area just behind each wheel covered with about 8 mil thick 3M Scotchcal film. The worst place that gets "blasted" on my car is the area just IN FRONT of the rear tires. This may only be because my winter wheels/snow tires stick out a bit more than stock. This is where I have my film. Many of also have the whole frontal surface of the car protected by this film. Now that your car is still new and hopefully have no rock chips, this is the time to have the film put on, NOT after the chips are there. Do a search for "Stongard", Xpel, 3M, Scotchcal and you'll see lots of posts about these products.

 

To add to xviper's comment, I have 3M all along the bottom rocker panel area and the splash zone of the rear bumper, worked well so far.
